Really silly ash question

[DVarmit]

I think I know the answer to this but wouldn't ash from redoubt be a really really bad thing for riding the rest of the year? Even if we got snow on top of the ash it would still be a layer in the snow...I can see the ash getting into the engine through the intake... clutching and just grinding everything up..

Never dealt with Volcanic ash but it seems to me that might kick your season right in the a$$

nah, as long as it wasn't floating around in the air wouldn't think it'd be a prob

It might help melt things down quick when the sun hits it, it'll gather the heat instead of reflecting it back up and melt the snow quicker.

Nah Doug, it's not too bad once it snows. Last time it blew in 89/90 everytime it blew we would get a dump of 1-2' of fresh so the ash wash not a real big problem for more than a day. Once burried it was not bad. But come spring breakup, it did go fast as an ash layer would get exposed to the sun, things melted fast!

You wouldn't want to get any airborne ash in your engine , and you wouldn't want to ride directly on a layer of ash , other than that it should be good to go .
