Anyone ride out of the snow park today? If so what is the middlefork like?
Man snowdog we dont need to feed the trolls with the stuck pics, us pro guys have to stick together and keep that from happening HA HA!!!LOL. Hope you guys had a good ride we did, Nice talking to you this morning. And for the middle fork people unloaded in the parking lot but not enough snow for me, we unloaded at whites ridge today.
Here is a pic from the top of the big bowl! 
A lot of people parked at the upper snow park. We really need a picture or drawing for parking directions, cause it looked like a cluster #$%^. It was icy with a little snow from the park upto whites ridge rd. On the way down there was less snow and more ice.
It was deep up there today! The highmarks were not so high today lol. The snow should settle tonight and the climbs should be easier tomorrow. Get upthere early and park at whites ridge and have a lot of fun.

Well, what can I say. It's like learning to ride all over again, Ha. Then, halfway thru the day, my trash talking buddy revealed to me that he installed an SLP pipe and can on his M8. Cheater!!! But you know what, that didn't stop him from getting stuck as much as I did. Say it ain't so, but funny thing is, I have pics also.
Actually, everywhere we went today, we saw someone stuck. They were everywhere. Every brand, too. Yes, even a turbo Yamaha. (BTW, those are alot heavier in the snow than they are in the showroom, but it did go pretty good).
PS: My arms feel like Gumby!!!

Sorry we missed you guys, we got to the top of SuperBowl from the Klickatat side at about 2:00
Snow in the valley was pretty heavy, but the side of mountain facing Mt Adams, opposite of superbowl was epic.
1 - 2.5 ft of dry POW, depending on where you were in elevation ..... We played all the way up and tore up everything within site.
Not the best video, I always forget the camera when I'm in the good stuff.

I didn't ride up the Tampico Area, we stayed over on White pass... and spent every bit of 4 hours breaking the 2 mile trail up on top of the ridge to overlook the climbs at Sec. 3... it was DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
I was loving the new 700 for it's light feel, but at the same time was missing the flotation of my 166.... all in all the little 700 155 impressed me though, it did better breaking trail than any of us were expecting.
I'll get a White Pass thread going here shortly... there were no short supply of stucks yesterday, we were pushing 2-1/2 to 4 ft of fresh snow depending where we were
........... there were no short supply of stucks yesterday, we were pushing 2-1/2 to 4 ft of fresh snow depending where we were
That's what I heard too. Family was in 3' of dry POW at Section 3 on Fri.
Yesterday, the snow in Kilickatat at the same elevation was wet and heavy. Amazing how a few miles can yield drastically different snow conditions. They were amazed at the difference.
I left my shovel up there yesterday 
I'de like to go riding up there tomorrow if anyone wants to ride. I think i left it in a hidden enough spot nobody found it. my buddies that i rode with yesterday have too much homework to go tomorrow
btw it was great yesterday! we unloaded at rimrock lake and rode over to tampico! very heavy snow on that run. tough riding. and worst of all... couldn't get the revs out of my rev! need to play with the clutching.

I took my 6 year old up on his enticer mod for the maiden voyage this year. The sled worked awsome and he had a blast. That little thing would go and go as long as he stayed on the gas, the 136 floated good with only a 60# rider.
here is a few pics from clover flats.

That's great Cascade !!! Good will return to you for getting your Son started riding with you. Those are great sleds and reliable as all get out.
Well Done !!!

That's cool. I'm telling ya, time flys by. The next thing you know he'll be asking you to take your ride for a spin and then he won't give it back. That's my kid on the red Edge in the pic above, all 105 lbs of him at 15 yrs old. he moved up to my backup 800 this year from his 600 edge.
What cracks me up is when some people (mostly women, sorry) use the excuse "I can't do what you guys do, I'm to small and not strong enough". And then they watch this kid ride, he tears it up. I've got to get some vid of him and get it on here. It's sooo cool to see how fast these kids improve with some training and direction.
Have fun.

I thought that crew looked familiar! It was fun riding with ya Daven. Did you make it back up there to get your shovel? We rode again yesterday and was amazed at what we found. We got great untouched all day. Total suprise, just getting ugly getting up to some of these areas.
