vagabond ranch this weekend... plain stupid.

[backcountryislife]

Went up to the ranch this weekend... unreal how good it was up there, TONS of snow... and nearly all of it was untouched.



Killer snow, even today

Abby did her first road gap

Bparks couldn't keep his sled upright... friggin noob.

After the ranch was packed with guys the last few days... this is still what it looks like up there.

and I got to ride with my two favoritest sisters...

This pretty much describes both days.

Checkin traffic on 125...

If you haven't been up there yet... you need to get on it! Supposed to get even more snow this week again.

Sweet, I'd really like to ride up there next year.

Did you cut down your windshield, take it off or buy a low cut version?

 

[backcountryislife]

I originally just removed the windshield from the frame, then put the frame back on... but that serves no purpose whatsoever. I then just took the whole thing off. The compartment now opens all the way & is easier to use for drinks & what not.

Plenty of riding left THIS year btw... heading back up again this weekend!

do you have to rent a room to ride up there or is there parking, access and all that good stuff for everyone?

Everyone has to park at highway 125. From the looks of his pics, he is jumping next to one of the parking spots.

No need to stay there, none of the riding is on the ranch itself anyhow.

The nice thing about staying there though... you're LIKELY to end up with a dam good guide for the day, as Jeremy is usually out riding, so at the worst case you've got a guy when you wake up who will tell you where it's been good, and where it has sucked. When we go up there, I'd say about 70% of the time we talk Jeremy into going riding, and he's pretty much guaranteed to bring you to some serious goods.

There's just so much good stuff on the N side of that area... you can hit zone after zone & just keep finding untouched stuff.

Once you ride there though... you'll end up staying there, pretty much guaranteed.


Yeah, dead on... that hit is just between the main lot (which isn't plowed right now) and the lot for the ranch.

I grew up in Rand and still have a place on the Illinois River. I know all that country very well.
