Some pictures from our second ride out of West Mancos, CO. (Transfer parking area.) There was great snow, and Steph's sled was doing pretty good at higher throttle settings, so we headed for the lookout tower.
Jersey Jim fire lookout tower
Steph rode my sled at first whilst I beat on the Z Sno Pro to see how it was feeling this day... It was a little boggy off the line, but ran fine at higher throttle. Being a 65hp sled, it's mostly higher in the throttle.
I think she's starting to like it!!
Things were going well, and we were having fun exploring, so we ended up riding the loop, 541 all the way around to Windy Gap, and back to the parking area. Had to break about half a mile of trail on the north side, but the road was still visible, and mostly level, so it wasn't a big deal. I can see that some of this might be slide prone later in the winter...
The road was drifted over right where it comes up to Windy Gap, so we cut up the bank a little early. Steph was iffy on it, so I rode her sled up to, and she hoofed it.
Yup, she's doing OK now!
Awesome day for riding!!
On the way out, we took a little side trip at the Transfer campground to the overlook for Hesperus Peak.
We went back a few days later and the snow had settled quite a bit. Still found some deep powder, and being able to just bum around was a bonus, as we are still very much in explore mode!! Looking forward to more great rides. Nice that this is only about an hour from home!!
