Spring riding on the Ear's!

Ahh, ok ... I thought I rememberd you saying something awhile back in another post in the cat forum about ArsFX having new cat spindles or something ....
I will be up there riding the white 1999 Polaris Indy 340
I believe they do make a spindle. I am using their a-arms and shocks though.
I thought you got the turbo to keep you out of trouble in the trees?
Saturday VOHK turned my boost up from 6 lbs to 8 lbs. HUGE difference by the way
Anyways, this particular incident went like this..... we were riding a really awesome gnarly area and VOHK became temperarily detained. I saw this as an opportunity to show off a bit and place my heavier inferior cat above his ultralight super poo. I couldn't see exactly where he was, but I knew he wasn't moving. So I spotted a gap that I was confident my skis would fit through. Due to branches overlapping, I couldn't see beyond that spot. But I thought as long as I could get to that point, I could continue my run. As my track turned about 58 mph and skis about 18 inches off the snow, somehow I squeezed through. Now I found myself on a very sketchy slope with Erik below me and nowhere to go if I happened to cause a slide. So I stopped and sat still until Erik was back to riding and out of the potential danger zone. Not to test fate, I decided to leave the area for another day. I started a downhill sidehill descent. Just before I got to my safe zone, I caught an old track and that lifted my inside ski and send my sled straight down. At the last second I bailed and you see the result.A turbo will not make you a perfect rider! When I make mistakes, I am happy to share them.
Super fortunate the bumper was all that was damaged.

Dogmeat good riding today thanks for bringing your loaded trailer
Good day boys hope to ride with some of the rest of you guys too. I'll be there again tomorrow, green m and with another pukey green '11 M8

Snow otta be pretty good for you guys tomorrow ...
Snow Update
Just wanted to give you guys a snow report for Phoenix. No Snow
So i am picking up an M8 this summer and have a couple trips planned. One question, I have a Nissan Titan but is only 2 wheel drive. What are the road conditions getting to some deep powder and would I have problems getting to a "park and ride" area with my 2X4. Why did I move to the dessert? At least I have my 2010 Sno Pro 500 back in WI

It can be done if the roads are good and the parking lots are plowed
I'd buy tire chains and a set of blizzacks for sure though.
Most of the time when I haul my sled in the back of my pickup, I leave it in 2wd. Traction is really good. Bout the only time I HAVE to go to 4 is if I'm parked in an icy spot. If you put studded tires on you should be fine.
If you're planning on pulling a trailer, it could be another story depending on the trailer.

Trust me, I'd rather be riding too. And I was right, her mom is coming.
I can't stand holidays, but hey, at least I get paid.
Don't worry, I'll give you a full report on our ride tomorrow. Maybe the Tower snotel will be buried. Right at 70" of SWE!!, guess I should stop driving on it.
yeah, go trash it so we don't have freshies this weekend. Geez, patience is a virtue.
Got some text pics and the report is the tower snotel is still around 16' and about a foot of pow was ridden today (looked like a foot or so, hard to tell on that tiny phone screen). Precip on buff went over 70" for the year as well. Last I was there, their gauges are pretty much buried, so the only one working is the snow water equivalent weight pad.
Sorry for wimpy text pics,
16ft, 7inches. Yes, 199 inches on the ground at the stake and dumping when we started to make our way south. 12 to 16 inches of cold, blower, fresh was had from long lake and north. Brian should post some real pics later. Lot was interesting. Just give'er the onion I say
Pics are up over on the spring fling thread, thanks B
