Sat Ride

Here are the Pic from Sat. Their were lots of Great climbs that I didn't get Pic. of. Both Shane and Jessy made some of the best climbs of the day.

Snoboner Headed To The Top After Jessy and Shane Went Out -- I think this was the best climb of the day.

Jessy Stuck BAD Paradise Valley

Not Sure Who In Paradise Valley Chute

Shane Jlowe BillyGoat and 2 guys From Wash. -- I like this Pic

Camera Crew 2

Mark Mesenbrink Stuck On a Loaner Sled In Lonesome Pine Chute -- Mark was riding on Snoboner turbo Apex and the throttle stuck on him right here. Not GOOD

Shane Stuck West of Paradise Valley Chute -- With help he was able to pull the sled up over the top. Very Good

And I didn't take any Pic. today -- Monday just rode.

Good Ride on 25 Feb

James come on down the SNOW is great!!!!!!!!!!

I rode today with HAULINDAVE and Eric L. out of Cisco. We were the second group to leave the parking lot. We did close to 40 miles of the deeps and heavy’s powder I've ridden this year. Only made it to Buzzard Roost but that was far enough to have many stucks and lots of fun fun fun. I think by tomorrow it we be starting to set up. I had to dig my track out 2 times today because it was packed so hard I could not go.

This Is How Deep

Cisco was getting warm today... I saw King-Oh-Da-Hill pulling someone out around 11 this morning..

The Southern aspects are already heavily sunbaked... 3 distinct layers (1 strong top over 2 weaker layers) on the 2 northern aspects I dug hasty pits on .... I think there are going to be some BIG slides tomorrow as the the snow tranforms from the heat....

Still some good freshies on the northern aspects. I'll bet Castle is going to be off the hook tomorrow.

This weekend will be hero snow, but I'd recommend digging some pits... something is freaky about the layers . It might be fine, but dont take it for granted.

Who is playing hookie & riding this week????

Silvertip???
Scott??

Bueler??

 

[the_machinist]

Mountainhorse- do you really have a biodiesel powered sled? EXTREMELY interesting, is that a joke? I make my own and run it in my truck...

 

[mountainhorse]

Definatley a Joke... Satire on the Greenie thing..

Making it beats paying the Arabs for it.

 

[King o the Hill]

Yeah ...headed up after dropping off a blown Cutler 1150...sucked but you are so right snow conditions changing by the hour definitely need to watch the steeps...didn't dig any intentional pits but got to dig lots out LOL, Great day of riding with John (ST), Doug, Dusty, Rick Martin, Tabasco and Ed lots of great pulls and boondocking..

Killer Ride

I had a GREAT RIDE with Jeff(King o The Hill), Doug(SnowDevil), Dusty(happylilcuss), Ed(HelmetCom), Rick Martin(Cisco Kid), Jeff(Tabasco). Ed had a little problem with his sled @ Magonigal Summit and King towed him back to the truck and caught up with us on top of Buzzards Roost. Lots of stuck and fun pulls in the deep -- heavy powder was had by all.

The BAD news is that I lost a cylinder on my sled. I was able to ride it out but its toast. 120# on the PTO side and only 90# on the mag side. Looks like I will be a Pol man for a while now. But on the bright side it was time to do a top end job @ 3750 miles on it. And it only 14 month old?????? Guess I need to just ride less if I want it to last for more than 2 years.

When we were tiring to climb to the top of Basin on the North side in the tree Tabasco kissed a tree and broke on A arm and had a hard time getting his sled out. Great job of herding the cat out.

The only Pic I took all day was of the Cat SEX between a 1000 and a M1 - 900. Glad you were not hurt Doug. Doug was pulling Jeff out of a stuck with a sno-bungie and Jeff just jump out of the hole and hit Doug and knot him to the ground and landing right on the back of Doug's sled. Always have your sno-bungie if your going to have Cat Sex. lol

Edit My bad it a King Cat not an M1 sorry Jeff
