I'm on top of darland right now 8:50pm made it in 2wd with my toyota. I saw I few snowmobiles heading down on my way up. Some even unloaded at treephones with 2 in of snow and the road upto eaglesnest is mostly gravel opps! The drifts are about 2ft but less than a foot to bare on the rest of the road. Gotta go I'm still wheeling.

Cool! Hate to be a scrooge, but my sleds aren't ready yet, cuz I'm trying to get my shop built first.

Nice pics... it won't be long now

My 9 isn't quite ready yet either... I need a new oil cable, fuel filter, and a torque stop and she should be good to go.... it would have been done Saturday if it wasn't for those

Here is my only pic of the night. Its a small drift between cloverflats and the top of darland. Its also probably the largest drift of the night. We went up to blue slide cabin, we had to use 4 wheel drive to get up the hill but still not deep enought for snowmobiles.

I will start an official Tampico/Ahtanum snow condition thread once it actually snows at the snow park (or soon there after). So far, zilcho at my house. My sleds are still in pieces anyway...but those new SLP parts sure are shiny! Hope to get caught up some this weekend.

Sleeper 910, your chev looks familiar...do I know you from somewhere?haha FB did you in!

Next forecast for low snow is tomorrow night; of course the NWS is 0 for 2 the last couple of weeks in this regard.

Tamp, can you tell a differance in those Cat's when they are assembled or dissasembled or do they perform about the same?

You guys keep having fun up there. I've put in 80 hours at work in the last 7 days, and SnoDawg is working double shift on his new dog house . . . er . . . shop, but just wait 'till we're riding every Friday and ya'll are enjoying your last workday of the week!!

Roof is done, concrete is poured and setting up underneath a blanket of straw. Starting on the siding on Friday. My clutches for both sleds and shocks for my wife's sled will be here next week (Thanx Fastrax) so I'm thinking I might (if I'm lucky) to be able to go for a ride late Thanksgiving weekend.

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who procrastinates, but at least my sled is ready to ride.

My procrastination was forced on me this year . . . but at least I'll have two arms to wreck with this year !! New shoulder is getting better and better, I'm gonna have to learn to ride all over again for thefirst time !

They look great dissasembled, its when my crappy memory re-assembles them that things go to H@#L.

The M5 is almost done, M8 just a pipe and primary left, Beau's M7...well a skid to put back in and some "minor" hood/bellypan/vent work, plus primary. He gets home Monday from WAZZUU; we should get most of it done in 1 day. Should be able to go (if there is enough snow) in early to mid December.

I don't think I'd call it procrastination. Heck, I was sledding until August 1st. The following Monday I started the ball rolling on this project and haven't stopped since. I just hope I have enough money left over after building the shop, to put fuel in the sled. LOL Concrete's expensive these days ('course what isn't?) I've got over a grand in the concrete buried in the ground that I can't even see. Over 3K in the slab. This sucks! I'll just be glad when it's finished.

Does anyone know how much snow is in the parking lot? Wanting to ride this saturday, but hard to turn a 27 ft enclosed around at whites ridge.
