We talk FUNNY!

[4funxs]

The other day I was talking to a friend and describing where we had been riding; We went through the land of consecration, down Butt Pucker into Ping Pong, then over to GoPro and up through the trees to pic of the week cornice, then through insurance claim chutes and so on.....


We talk about these places like you can find them on a map, but only usually guys in the group have a clue where we are at. I know for us it's code to keep others out of our favorite spots. What are some of your favorite names for those hidden gems you don't really want anyone to know about?

And maybe how they got their name, for us GoPro is the hill that is covered with trees where one of the group lost his GoPro. Insurance Claim Chute, well that might not need an explanation.

I think every area has a fiberglass hill.

 

[Wheel House Motorsports]

most areas we ride have a "test hill' as the first big open safe place to dial things in on.

The Restaurant:
A a dense grove of Spruce out in an open meadow. An opening about 50 feet in diameter in the center of the grove is completely sheltered from the wind and blowing snow. A good place to stop and eat lunch on a stormy day.

MJB camp:
Initials of the last names of the three people that built the camp.

The Ralph Spot:
Not named for a guy named Ralph. It's where a snowmobiler with a hangover stopped to puke one time. His buddies frequently remind him of this.

Bear Wall:
Located in the Wall Creek drainage. It was named by a timber cruiser that was chased by a mother bear at that location.

The Burma Road:
Snowmobile trail that is always hideous with bumps.

gas drop (self explanatory)
Little Africa (don't know why it's called that)
The Rez (it's actually a reservation wilderness area and you can't cross into it)
the highway (groomed trail where EVERYONE must use it to get back to the country)
test hill (if you can't see well or can get over this hill, or there has been slide activity on it, you don't go up and over the top to get back into "the country") MANY days, the ride ends here, just 10 miles from the truck.
beaver slide (hafta go down this avy hill to get into a cool play area)
roller coaster (seems like a cool name for this swooping creek bottom that drops right out of the top of a saddle through the timber. Seems like kind of an avy chute, but it's really probably a creek drainage)
the cornice (a hill nobody ever has climbed out of...HUGE cornice at the top)
razor ridge (VERY skinny cornice ridge that you have to take to get back to a very desirable lake and play area)
the rock (everyone goes there for a cool vantage point)
johns chaincase (johnny rigger blew out a chaincase there and we had to go back in and rig it up so he could ride it out. He rode it all day with no chaincase cover)
wtf (REALLY goofy things happen there, spectators always say WTF when someone is on the hill)
hood hill (a hill the claims many hoods)
wall of shame (steep with a huge history of LOTS of wrecked sleds)
chit n giggles (we go there just for fun, it's a rolling hill/meadow area)
avy alley (it always slides)
humps and bumps (a mountain road that's NEVER EVER groomed)
podiatrist (a guy fell off here and dragged with his foot caught in the foot well)
