headed to turny right now. We will have an 08 xp 800 and an 02 summit 800 on a 3 place trailer. I will have all blue gear on. If you see us we could use a few more riding partners.

The wife is on the road from Soldotna to Anchorage. She cam through the pass at about 8pm. She said it was pouring rain all the way from the Hope cutoff to Girdwood. Doesn't look good and the roads will be nasty in the moring if it cools down tonight.

Anyone been down at turny lately?
I drove through the pass yesterday ~ looks pretty tracked up and a couple little slides have come down on the front side. Might be okay up top and on the back side ~ looks like a super highway going over.
Yes and it's not pretty.
Boiler plate from sea level to '2500, dense wind blown snow on the ridge tops. Even the bottom of the first bowl has seen some rain.

I drove through today. It still had some fresh snow on top of a base. it was snowing on my way back to kenai. not that hard really but its better than the rain we got last weekend
Turny is no good. Boilerplate/ice conditions haven't changed. **** was so hard I bent my rear axle and tore up 2 idlers. Snowin decent near sealevel but next to nothing in the pass.
Has anyone been through in the last day? I just need a few inches fresh to do some test and tune.

Our driver that came through today said nothing new and looked like concrete at about 9 this morning. He said there was one truck in the lot.
you can test and tune, but it was concrete/ice yesterday
Drove through today raining all the way to Soldotna
That really SUCKS! So is everyone going North this weekend?
Got the heads milled on the M7 and need to test it out!

Teh Hitman! your back! I think you saw me at the primrose trail today. I was the one in the blue snowgear in the group of 7 revs.
Turnagin Conditions
We were down on Friday, Jan 8. Beautiful day until some late afternoon fog rolled in. Snow was very crusty and hard. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3azkytBcgGQ for conditions. If you want to see the funny part, skip to about 3:45 in.
