Both my brother and the sled came out ok. pretty lucky though. My dad got a bit of a scare because he didn't see it happen and thought my brother got thrown off the bridge, but when he pulled up my brother was just sitting on the other side of the sled. I think we will stay on the valley trail next time too.

when we were kids we used to ride next to the tracks on our motorcycles..almost got run over by a train...finally heard his horn and looked over my shoulder..he was right there..scared the crap out of me..(weird but never heard it at all until it was right there)..ever since I try to stay away from the tracks...

Just an idea but that pic of the tracks would be pretty easy for say a group to argue land management issues, or justify heli-skiing closures, don't provide ammo I'd ditch the Pic-

You have a good point there 2thtop, I'm with you on that one. Placer is too nice of a place to lose.

Impending Closure
Rode Placer Friday... unreal riding. Was shocked by how many people went friday.
Regarding closures... Placer Drainage is scheduled to close April 1st until the 30th(and then there probably won't be sufficient snow near sea level to reopen).... so pay attention to the signs. This is from the www.cnfaic.org:
Skookum Drainage
Open:
About 24 inches of new snow. Remember, the Forest Order closes Skookum to snowmachines after March 31.
SUCH BS AND SUX BIG TIME! If you want an explanation call Carl - I don't have the answers.

Why Are They Closing It Early?
Why so early? and with adequate snow coverage! I need an explaination...
These pics were from the 18th of APRIL last year! Dont see why we could not safely ride there for another month with the snow coverage right now!

Placer today super deep. We were the ones in the second parking lot. We busted in there and got the trucks stuck instantly. We rode all the way to the squirrel flats trail beginning. Broke trail AGAIN! Got to the first gully. Not going to tell you how deep because no one is going to believe us anyway. We had 4 xp's, nytro and my 800 dragon rippin it up. Stuckfest of course. Getting out of that parking lot took us about an hour of shoveling and pushing.
