Silvertip's Playground 09

[silvertip]

The snow today was AWESOME 18 to 24 inches of the lites powder and today their was a base under it. Powder Hound and I got out of Cisco a little before 8:30 and it was 23 deg. berrrrrrrr We rode for 2 hrs. before meeting up with Boxman and crew. They still had more guys coming so off we went and meet up with DSK at Lily Pond and tore up the back side of Buzzards Roost. I think the deeps powder of the day was up there. Well over 2 ft above 8000 ft. Then back to Lily Pond to meet up with the gang. And the GANG was Boxman, Visi, Puddles, Shane, Chadd800, Clinton, and Isize(sp) And Scott(Powderhound) and Bret(DSK). I hope I got everyone. Our great powder was already starting to get heavy after lunch. By the time Scott and I headed in it was slopping water off the skies. I had way to much fun today. Only took 4 Pic and they were of the same thing.
Poor PowderHound found a broke off stobe about 6 inches under the snow at a very low speed and stopped him died in his tracks.

John, This is Isaac Monday was an awesome day of riding. It was nice to meet you and Scott. Hope to see you out there again.

 

[silvertip]

Bill Thank you for the Pic. I had a blast riding with you. I don't remember being stuck that many times. I also got your email and it worked fine.

Isaac it was nice meet you. We will need to get out and ride with a little smaller group

I did a little afternoon ride today. Defiantly spring snow out there. Left home @ 1:00 and back by 6:00. NICE DAY

Nice pics! John, I love the one with your hands in the air.

Great pics Billrmk.

Nice to see a few pics of Silvertip himself and not of his sled.

In that one pic is Silvertip checking that sled for missing track lugs.

It would be nice to ride in powder like that one more time this year.

Finally back with my MAIN Ridding Buddy !!!

THANK YOU SILVERTIP !!
Just what the Doctor ordered, a good long Silvertip Ride, Mental Sanity Restored.
Did almost 58 miles, even though the creeks are starting to open up and snow is set-up, it was an awesome day of T-Shirt weather riding. Sorry gang, I'm a dip stick and getting back into the swing of things and the whole check list deal, forgot my camera so no pics.
Thanks again bud for a great day and have a good one out there today !!

man the snow is going FAST. BUT its all hero snow had a great weekend riding cape lake/bald eagle area(bucks lake). Get out a rip it up while we still got it!

 

[Sno Junkie]

Its steep, technical and I don't know whats on top. Who's got the balls??

Silvertip-
Do you recognize this? If you do...shhhhh!
I'm accepting cash from anyone who would like to be taken to it

 

[Anthony Oberti]

Hmmmmmmm.....

 

[Sno Junkie]

Hmmmmmmm.....

I dont think you will attempt it....not enough room for you to get far enough back to get a good look at it with your binoculars

 

[Anthony Oberti]

Ouch!!!!!!!!!! Forget the binoculars.....I did much better yesterday without them. Although I do need a better way to determine what is ice and what is NOT ice. Should have listened to Boxman.......atleast the sled came out in one piece though. VERY LUCKY!!!! You would have thought I learned my lesson last year after launching my sled on that hill.

 

[snopro176]

hows the run to the hill?? AO,hows the boost life??

 

[Anthony Oberti]

The run at it was ok. I climbed to the right of where I wrecked last year....about 100-150ft to the right. Problem was about 3/4 of the way up it was icy and getting vertical. Launched straight up and stuck it about 20ft from the top. As for the turbo.........ummmmmmm.......pretty much the best thing I have ever rode

 

[jimh]

don't wad it up, you gotta make it last at least two seasons. I guess if you do, its toward the end of the year... but your insurance will get it this time. just make sure its on film.

I think Puddles called the shinny stuff "traction" LOL!
