Basically I want all ou guys who ride the Uinta's opinion on some stuff. In my thread of Uinta Mountain Riding I posted some stuff about a treasure hunt we used to do out here when I was a kid. I want a little input on some other ideas to bring even more fun to the already exciting sport of snowmobiling.
My brother(and partner) Scott have been talking about this for years. If anyone knows where double hill is (moffat) we used to do a little cross-coutry style race we called the Moffat Run for Fun. It was basically and run what you got type race and the circuit was simple. Riders ran in heats set 5-10 mins apart. First heat would run up the highway and into whitney. Followin the road you would run until the groomed trail stops. Next, racers would run on a marked path towards Double Hill summit (Moffat Summit), across the ridge and down the opposite side. Then they would race across the back of Whitney reservoir and onto the gold hill side of the hill. Then down the gold hill road back to the highway and full bore back to the gate down the highway. The purpose for the race is everyone throws in $5 to enter and winner takes all. It used to be way fun for us and we can revamp the details of the race based on rider input.
The treasure hunt basically was a night ride thing where participants would throw down a $10-$20 bill and one person not participating would tape all the money to a bottle of booze (jack, jim, wine, whatever) and would go hide it in a 5 mile radius up the highway hanging from a tree. The person who hid it would give a clue based on landmarks leading to the treasure. Riders would then set out in the dark and try to locate the landmark clues to find the bottle. Winner got the cash and a bad hangover <--thinking about revamping this one (this was created by drunks
) still fun for the most part.
A rider jamboree where everyone would free for all ride the mountains up whitney road (usually double hill/gold hill area) and just have climbing, freestlyle competitions. Side bets were always made like "hey i bet you 30 bucks i can make that chute and you can't" <-- an example. or "i bet i can jump 30 ' further than you can on this gap or cornice drop" <-- an example
I don't know what do you guys think??? we just want to have a really good time this season and bring a wider of variety to our mountain so we can share the joys of this vast range. There are tons of areas to ride but we never have many to ride with. We really want to meet some badazz riders for our friend who owns a video production place here intown, has agreed to film and edit our ventures here in the Uintas. It could become a really big thing but like I said, we don't know many people who can hang with us. Our friends are all noobs to the sport and I get tired of digging their sorry @zz's out of the snow. Hard on my back and a waste of time. We'd like you all to come have a good time with us. And again, our guided tour business is null and void when were inviting you all to just come hang with us for a couple days. The business is for the idiots who have never even seen snow before(tourists which we have an overabundance of in the winter up here), and we basically want them to have a good time and come home safe (not gauranteed (sh*t happens)) But anyways, some feedback on this would be great before I post it up in the general snowmobile section.
