Turnagain's First Ascent?

[The Fourth Wolf]

Does anyone know when the first sled made it over the top at Turny?

My guess is would be around the late 80's or early 90's. Probably a homebuilt long track mod.

At somepoint on the sled development timeline the capability to make that pull was achieved. Just curious if any of the AK crew knows when that was?

Or maybe by the time it was open for riding the sled technology was already there.

Awesome question.

Been wondering myself. Whenever and whatever it was, I'm sure it was an Arctic Cat.
