Has Anyone Been To Lava Mt. Lodge Just Wondering How It Is Thier And How Is The Off Trail Close To Their

Thanks For The Info

from the highway drive by there it looks pretty good and i talked to some guys that were staying there and they said it was good. we unloaded at togwotee pass and the off trail in that area was excellent
 
No doubt the runningest d7oo on the planet. The other guide Dave is talking with Craig on one. Craig said you speak highly of me. Thanks for that. Wish you guys could come more often and I understand. If you talk to John, tell him I did want to say I was sorry for coming in late that nite. What a ride. Also, I take possession of my d700 today. Had to go with Lance at Power Toys as he has done lots for me. So far: D700x163 SLP airbox,pipe,can,clutched and geared,eliminators, scratchers, and when they get here Boysen Rad reeds. The Holz stuff comes this summer. As you can see I was impressed. Lance gave me his demo for 2 days and I was impressed more. Thanks John, and Sally, ear your heart out. You will get to ride it when you get here. You can take the lite weight one out also.
 
Trying to come out Feb 2nd. A couple friends signed up on the Nelson tour for that week. Or maybe Presidents week, some friends there that week also.
Are you there all winter?

I want to see Carters new snowmobile!

I hear it is taking him places he only dreamed of.

No.... it really is his dreams taking him anywhere...one broken sled,a lightweight short track special...and one on order. Good thing he has a guide sled:D Carter good to see ya back on here..Must have had a day off!! Go ride.

1-2 inches per hour = 1-2 Feet + at Togwotee!

NOAA FORECAST..DRIVE SAFE & PLAN ACCORDINGLY if you will be traveling in NW Wyoming Sunday into Monday Night...

But once your here....it should be epic by Monday Night. It's a whole new experience storm riding in the super fresh powder at the end of the storm, as I'm sure many SnoWest riders have experienced. I'll be off Tuesday and Wednesday too!:face-icon-small-ton.


Travel safe! Ben

WOW-One + Foot Down, a Few More to Go!

We cannot see across the road due to snow right now! We got over a foot during last night and they are calling for a few more feet by 6PM tonight! All the tracks will be gone by tonight, so will the trail. The winds are gusting around 40MPH so white out conditions are occurring. Avalanche conditions are very high! Be careful.

One Word...EPIC!

I'll take a picture of my truck tonight. It had no snow on it yesterday mornig. I am working on a way to get out of the office and go ride the storm and get some pics....

See ya out here....STUCK!

Ben

You can almost see the trees right before the highway in the pic! Awesome! This is about 3 inches an hour at that rate!

28 inches plus of champagne powder fell above 8000 feet in the hills above JH in the past 24 hrs. I suspect Tog. got that as well and even more at higher elevation.

More snow for the area can be expected all week.
 
Looking to Film...

… Alright guys FreeRide Films is headed out west on feb 25th for a 2 week trip, We are going to Colorado for 4-5 days and then we are looking for people to meet up with and film anywhere out west. E-mail me at tagracer@hotmail.com or give me a ring 3204201351 (Tony) Tell me about you or the group you ride with… Hopefully it works out and we can come out and do some filming!! Show us your SKILLZ!:)
 
Togwotee has been getting lots of good fresh snow. It is snowing up there right now. I have some good pics but can not figure out how to post them. Does anyone know how to have them on the page already opened and big?
 
Dino,

We will be there on the 17th for four days.

The Captain and myself. And maybe Old Goat. And Ice Man and Duece.

And of course Jack.
Sally, Thought you were coming sooner than that. Your loss my gain, less tracks in the trees, LOL. PM me with your phone #. I have a buddy of mine that wants to come out but might be better if not alone. He is twenty miles west of the cities (Minnetonka area), bought a good mtn sled ( 800 RMK with SLP chit) and is trying to set a date on when to come out. Maybe a hook up if the timing works, maybe not. Good to hear you are coming.
CG's new ride kicks a$$.

We have been pounded by snow, day after day after day after day, and that's down in town. I can't even imagine what is falling up on the hill. It's gotta be up to the bars by now, if not for sure by this weekend. Forecast is for snow everyday until ????????????????? next Thursday anyway, who knows after that.

Dino
