Doesn't look like much....but hit this stump at full throttle by the power lines at Stampede... Sled flew up and in the air 20 feet farther before impacting the snow!!!

Have to love those hidden land mines.
You ok??
Shoulders very sore, as soon as I hit the hidden landmine,I was hanging onto the handle bars...but I was on the side of the sled...kinda like a moto crosser that hangs off his cycle as he's going over a jump. Right hand and shoulder impacted the sled as it finally came back down...luckily the body armor took most of the impact

Belly pan absorbed the hit.....track on stump is what launched it!!!
Good news is you won't hit it again as it's long covered now!
BTW - Does anyone have a link to a trail/riding map of Stampede?
I'm teaching my son how to ride and so far all we can find is endless trails and riding under the power lines.
Is there any other off-trail play areas that open up?
(Suitable for teaching a 13 y/o how to ride a mountain sled)
Thanks.

Thanks very much for the link.
I have to determine what route to best take to try and find some open play areas.
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Under the power lines is where I learned until I got comfortable enough to start riding through the trees. Also if you can get to green water the meadow up there is pretty good for learning. Pretty flat but he can at least practice getting the sled on its side and not worrying about it tumbling down somewhere.
Wide open areas are definately in the minority in every area I've ridden in wa. Waaaay different than any other western state I've ridden in from AK to AZ. Cause so d@mn many trees grow here I guess......
Never been to Baker and don't know what it takes to get to the areas you always see pics of but that's where I'd reccomend and plan on getting there this year. My kids are just getting big enough to carve a powder turn but with the over abundance of trees and typical lack of powder, they are just good trail riders lol. Try baker IMO.
