Another Deep Powder Day @ Cisco

Tom it was nice to meet you also. Put a face to a name. Yes we will need to hook up for a midweek ride. And don't feel bad about being stuck. The only way peep didn't get stuck was if they stayed in the parking lot.

Steve sorry to hear about you meeting up with ANOTHER TREE. I think there was a tree or trees involved when I meet you yesterday. And I think I heared that some one else got banged up yesterday???

I rode with Stubbs, Eric, and the gentlemen from Wash. and it was still great powder on the North sides. I know I was stuck 5 or 6 times as was everyone.
Not many Pic. because we were to bizzy riding

Still lots of snow in the tree and great powder

One for TonySno A little cat wrenching

When a guy has a smile like the one Bill has here after 5 or 6 big stuck you know we were having FUN

Stubbs come down an almost vertical drop and makes it thou the tree and is stuck on the flat.
If it had been me I would have S**T myself.

And the last one tonight is Eric smiling as Stubbs is talking to his sled in 4 letter words.

I rode with PowderHound today and it was a very good ride to say the least. Rode South out of Green Acres and hit the North side of 1001 Ridge and had the first track in all the little Clear Cuts. Both of us had a couple of stucks in the nice 12 to 18 inch deep powder in the steep CC. Then around Yuba and going thou Lincoln Valley only 2 other track. Then off to Haskell Pk and nobody had been up there yet. Had a great day of more untracked snow. I can't believe all the sheep out there

Nice area South of Green Arces

Thou the Trees ouch!!!!

PowderHound Headed Up The Hill

Sierra Buttes Lots of snow still in the tree

Had a great ride out of Cisco with my buddy Ken... Lots of untracked stashes with some great terrain. Good to get back on the sleds again.. I've been down with Pneumonia for a while now.

Although I think that the Matraxx on the UTV's are pretty cool... they do a great job at trenching out the trail ride in... makes it pretty dicey in spots found some areas under the towers where they look like they spent a while digging out.

My bad, I heard wrong

 

[silvertip]

First a big THANK YOU to Mike for show me/us around the High Lake again. That is some great country up there. Nice to meet up with Cy and his friend. And it was nice to meet Zac and his friend. (I'm h*ll on name) And alway my pleasure to ride with Grant and Ryan for sure.

The rest of the story is the old man bit off more that I could climb. Almost lost my sled and myself. I got to within 50 ft of the top and lost it and the only thing that stopped my sled from going down into the trees was the handle bars. They dig into the ice and stop it. The Red Dot is where my sled was. I slide down 150+ ft on my back not knowing if my sled was on it's way down after me or not. I stopped sliding at about the Yellow Dot. Vis and Ryan had the sled ready to roll back on it track when I got back up to them. I had to dig steps with my shovel for the last 50 ft. it was so icy. They had my sled tied off to the little tree to the right of the dot. Thank you guys for all the help.
