Road trip Idaho 13-17 FEB

16 hours one way.

Met several groups from California there

Stayed in a 12 unit log cabin type INN with kitchen.

Rode sled from motel across street to trail system , for gas, food, bars etc.

Nice hills were less than a mile away from the hotel !

Snow in town was 2-3 feet and up high was over 4 plus feet with a few feet of base.

Rode sled less than 10 miles to find meadow after meadow and hill after hill of untracked over the hood powder !

Stanley is awesome! I was there this summer on 2 wheels, amazing scenery! Would love to get out there on the sled!

That was the first day ... the last day had empty beer bottles and food rappers all over the place plus spare sled belts on the bed posts

I ride mostly SOCAL and Mammoth and I must say it has been a long time to see so much riding area and was amazed by no crowds and mile after mile of untracked powder.

There was a lot of sled parties going on at night. Seemed like more at the parties than on the hills. They were drag racing in the streets !
