WestMont,
Are you still thinking about a ride or are you going to skip this weekend? I talked to my dad and he said he might want to ride but was not set on going. I still want to go

I see Jess is still alive and just lovin those 4 strokes,,, Nice moves!!!
Saw's Ball Bag chute is just too rocky, and there is alot of snow up there, too much wind I would imagine...
Ok, it's gonna be good x-mas at the winger household... I must be outa my mind, but yep, there are TWO new Pro's on the way, and I know I got a hell of a deal on em, Thanks Kurt's
So, now you guys will have someone to laugh at next year!!
On a side note, Do any of you fellas deal with any TOPCON software, GPS, or surveying equipment??
Oh, and Westmont, me and Brian A. named the trail...., I'll call ya.....

Sounds good WestMont. I think my dad and I might go up to the pass and go dink around back toward beaver ridge. Let me know what your plan is.
Way to go winger..... you're going to really like the pro's.
Naming trails? what you talking about willis? lol
As for topcon systems in general I'm half dangerous but when you get a minute call Jay Mercer at RDO Intergraded Controls in Billing at 406-794-8553 or Jarod also from RDO at 406-690-6586. They can answer and or troubleshoot any systems or questions over the phone.

30' hole.
I'll try to explain the best I can so no one else has a near miss like we did. If you ride Beaver Ridge area this picture might look familiar.
Using the Beaver Ridge lookout as a starting point for directions to this ridge in the picture you would leave from the lookout heading south following the ridge line around which then the ridge line heads due east for the most part, keep on top of the ridge line past where you would drop down on the benches if you were going to Beaver Lake, and then ride that ridge line out as far as you can and you will end up on a ridge that runs north and south with the north end of this ridge ending up at the brushy fork/shoot creek area.
Just as you start heading north you drop down as you can see in the picture next to the tree line with the cornice on your right and not far past where you see the riders in the picture there is a LARGE hole that opened up.
I started down the ridge first and did NOT see a hole and behind me was skisucca. skisucca said that when I went past the area not far from where the riders are in the picture he seen a large chunk of cornice break off and at the same time a LARGE hole and crack in the snow opened up right in front of him. skisucca ski was on the very edge of this hole that was large enough to swallow all of our sleds and about 30' straight down to the dirt.
You can see we were closer to the trees then the cornice but the hole opened up closer to the trees then the edge of the cornice and being that skisucca seen dirt I think that the bottom of the hole was actually to the right of the main ridge line down on the rock cliff and when the cornice chunk broke loose it pulled the snow out from under the area we rode past and the snow on top was still bridged only revealing a hole that you do not want to fall into.
Once past this area the rest of the ridge is all good and has some good play areas in it.
If the directions to this area of concern does not make sense to anyone that rides the beaver ridge area please send me a pm with a phone number and I'll do my best to explain so you can be very careful of this area.
skisucca, Great meeting you and VERY glad it was a near miss on the hole and you did not end up in it.
Glad your trip down was worth it. We'll do it again for sure. I might have to travel north sometime if you don't mind.
