She's Back!!!!

[sledhead ut]

Great day seeing GP on the snow again. New ride, Outfit and Ligaments. These Cat's are going to take some getting used to but not too worried about it. Snow was good but the cold was BRUTAL.

Just a few pics of GP. Too cold to remove gloves and get more pics.

Looks fun! Friday can't get here fast enough

Was the area you were riding due east of the cabin by chance? Snow conditions and depth report to go with the pics???

Happy Thanksgiving guys! Stay warm

Nothing like getting out with a new knee, different sled and riding in November. Yeah!!!!

It may just be me and my weak self but I can't turn this sled like I could my dragon. What thaaa? Is this normal? Is there some sort of steering adjustment?

I don't think the Ms are near as Tippy as the Dragons, They are more stable on edge for a wider area than the dragons so make sidehilling and such a dream. Once you get the M up it is good.

I probably don't make much sense trying to describe it in typing but oh well...

GP, I've never liked the powder pro's on the m because they are too aggressive, My wife and I both have the HCR ski and love them, try to find some guy that has a pair and see if they do better..

I also taught my wife to ride to the rear of the sled a little more, I rarely steer the m with my bars, lean it back and try to use your feet to steer you, most times I stay centered in the sled and steer just by lifting a leg, but you will have to get a little more aggresive than that. Definitely a different body english to this sled, but once you get it, you'll love it. My first day I oversteered three times into tree, riding it like my old KK, once I found my balance point it seems it just goes where I look.....even up trees.

Thanks for the info guys. The more I ride it the more I'll get it and understand it's not a dragon. I understand the body english bit. But the weight that I am (120) and the female upper body strength is the killer on me right now. I may swap ski's to see the difference and go from there. But the Powder Pro's are dreamy in the powder carving conditions I've noticed so far. It's just the stupid trail I'm complaining about.

you'll get the hang of it soon enough. I'm 120 too and really like the M....

And the upper body strength of a girl?

yep, but my legs are still good...

You'll get used to it before you know it. Using your feet, is so true. I practically walk back and forth on my running boards on the trails.

Is there some Mexican weight equivalent I'm missing?

Last I saw you were 4'9" and 175. After Turkey and Beer I would guess 181 and STUCK............
