More videos! This is one of our best yet

Im the wrong one to ask cause the assault has the powerclaw track on it as does my sled. The dragon and my dads (who is videotaping) have the stock 155 track. I do like the powerclaw tho! Im not a fan of the assault track at all until springtime snow

HA!
I agree with BOTH of these points of view!

It's just amazing what these things can do. I had a blast riding the Big Horns last week!

This is what the hillside will look like in the spring

hahahahah

That is halarias. Where did you find that pic? Ya we do a lot better with at least one ski in contact with the snow

 

[skibreeze]

Sorry, I couldn't get past all of you guys on the hill at the same time. Not very smart riding practices.

Google terraced hillside

 

[newmy1]

No chit! Four guys on the hill at the same time, three guys side hilling RIGHT behind each other on the same hill. WTF. Just goes to show how un educated this sport is about AVY's.

Great vid otherwise

A whole new world of sledding!!!

Awesome riding guys!

That is a great video, good to see the Pro is so easy to sidehill.....it will be fun to see what burandt can do on this sled versus the trubo M series he rode for a few years.

avalanche awareness

I'm really glad you guys brought up the avalanche comments! My bro and I have taken several avalanche classes and we always check the conditions before we go. This is the link to the website we use:

http://utahavalanchecenter.org/advisory/logan

I also tested the snow before we did all of that, that day too.
We also wear BCA Float avalanche packs, which are a must, and we carry shovels, probes, and wear beacons.

Last year the avalanche conditions were such, that we never could ride in these areas on the steep sidehills, but we've been fortunate this year to have most of the year rated as "LOW" avalanche danger.

Again, thank you for bringing that up. I believe it is so important to not only have the gear, but know how to use it and when not to even mess with certain slopes.

Happy safe sledding to all!!!

I rode with Rassmussen and Brandt while filming Schooled Again in Wyoming last year the day Chris got his new Pro, and he was blown away!! He commented severall times how he was a much better rider than he had been on the Dragon, and how the "PRO" was THE reason he switched brands. It will be fun to see more footage of this year for sure!

the people i ride with don't have beacons or probes and the shovels are just to dig yourself out with. after reading all the avalanche safety stuff i could and telling them about it, i decided my best option was the BCA Float backpack, at least i am doing what i can for myself cause i sure am not staying home. i'll keep pursuading them to at least learn what to do, i want someone to be able to run a shovel for me.

It's kind of a big investment, but I actually have 2 extra beacons that I hand out when we go riding if someone doesn't have one, and I make them take a few minutes and learn how to use them. It pisses me off that people don't take it more seriously. If you have 11,000 to spend on a new sled surely you have 200 bucks for a beacon.

Keep working with them or find someone else to ride with is my vote. I've been in 2 avalanches and that's when I started to pay attention. Too bad it took that to get me to wake up.

Anyway sorry to get off the subject, I just think it's important!

probably the best subject to get off track on though, i might have to buy a couple more beacons, i have one, but again the people i ride with don't, sucks i need to buy them one too but i don't like the alternative.

Ok, you were at least aware of the conditions BUT, in most disasters, there are several mistakes that are made. One usually compounds the other. Just because the danger is lower doesn't mean it is eliminated. Just because the danger is lower, doesn't mean that basic back country protocol can be ignored. The basic rules, under any condition are one person exposed to a slope at a time. This is just another precaution in case crap hits the fan.
