Lost Lake

[Turbo Tim]

The two hours of sunshine on saturday were awesome . LoL Tracks from the previous day were gone on sunday , it snowed all night sat . and all day sunday. should be good on the first clear day that turns up .The primrose trail is brutal , bring an extra kidney ,and suspension pieces .

 

[MYTOYS]

Pictures from this Sunday, flat light and snowing on and off all day, lots of fresh powder to play in, if only you could see....I think Nikolai stole the spot light and won the price for finding the best looking tree in the entire area

Thanks for letting me shack up with you boys, had fun this weekend!

What an awesome weekend! Visibility was horrid for most of the weekend ~ but I still had a blast riding with you guys!! It definitely says something for the crew when you can ride on a brutally bumpy / icy trail in for 30 minutes then have flat light / whiteout conditions almost all day ~ and still call it a good ride!!! Met some more fellow Snowesters ~ loved watching the hawks tear it up out there! Good to ride with ya too!

I was "that guy" at first... wrenching on the trail... but since someone gave me crap and called me Chad... all I can say is Karma Baby Big time props for friends bring parts down, it is a shame about the limiter straps though... ya missed MacGyver in the pow fixing the bent A-arm with a tree.

And as always gotta give props to my boys... Go big or go home!!! You guys are awesome to watch climbing and flying!! Oh, and Drew... I am sure the only reason I was able to take ya on that hill (on the little six hundy) was because of 22X's sled having suspension problems... the track must have been ratcheting ~ rignt?

Yeah, that flat light was a b!tch.. Those pictures make it look better than it was... That must have been MYTOYS that helped pull my buddies dragon out of his impecable trench job (par for the course). Thanks for the helping hand.... I saw the bent a-arm..thought someone was shopping for a Christmas tree early till I realized it was standard repair procedure..

Did any of ya'll in your group lose a long metal skinny thing off your pack on the chiropractic trail? My buddy picked something up. I think ya'll came down right before us.

I'm not missing another weekend up there, sounds like I missed out, although I did hit up johnsons for a decent ride. Would have been down there with you guys this weekend but I got food poisining Friday so...am still trying to fully recover.

I would like to note that lately my sled is the only one that doesn't break down when I ride...

I want to ride with you all, Lost Lake this weekend?

 

[Deezy]

Yeah, I had a blast down there last weeknd! No riding for the next 2 weeks for me (Duty calls in Oahu). I'll be back with a tan and and an urge to shred some pow!

Yep that was me helping him out, couldn't leave a fellow enthusiast stuck when there is snow to be tracked up

Good Carma

I was there on friday but didnt want to rain on everyones parade for the weekend. The snow settled big time since last weekend. Once I came to grips that it wasnt soing to be as good as last weekend then it was fun. Still some fresh to be found and at 3:30 the clouds parted and it was beautiful. The wind picked up when we were leaving at 5:30, but hope it didnt F everything up for Sat N Sun. Im sure we'll hear about it soon. Thanks to the locals that grabbed all of my buddies stuff that fell out of his sled and put it on my trailer (including his camera). Good Carma

Some guy had hiked up the trail on Friday before I headed up and returned with the stuff and placed it on the trailer next to my truck. I was staying the weekend in the Dale Clemens cabin so I made a trip in with gear and came back for a second trip and the stuff was on the ground and your trailer was the only one left in the parking lot besides mine so I placed the stuff on your trailer. Glad the stuff got back to your buddy. Apparently my good deed went unoticed by the Karma gods because I came back down to my truck on Saturday mid-morning and 10 gallons of gas (two 5'ers), jug of 2 stroke oil, jug of antifreeze, Otter freight sled, freight sled tow hitch, and half a tank of gas from my truck tank (leaving me on empty) were stolen, about $300+ worth of stuff. I guess I was lucky it was just thieves and not vandals.

Hay Guys & Gals. I had a blast with ya on Saturday thanks for showing us around Blondz. I was way impressed with your daughters riding that nasty trail and playing on the hills. Big props to your crew would love to hook up with ya on another ride.

I had a gas can stolen earlier this season too. The funny thing is the can was TIED into the back rack of a sled that was in the back of the truck. Even funnier is the fact that there was a new belt hangin from th bars. lol lol we didnt even notice that until after we noticed the can was gone. lol lol

damn stupid thieves.

probably tree huggers "getting revenge"

 

[AkSummit]

Goin down in the morning- how was the snow?

a group of us also went on Sunday, snow seemed awesome, just had crappy visability, had a few patches of weather where you could somewhat see where you were going. Went up Fireman's the trail wasn't to bad. I had ****ty ride though ended up almost nose diving into a tree, couldn't see and didn't check landing, sled made it out alright though! Thought i could blast though and not smack the tree! goin lil to fast for ****ty visability

 

[IQRIDR]
