Absolute sick!! Three or four feet/plus of the lightest, driest snow I have ever rode in... If you got off the trail you needed a breathing respirator (for yourself) otherwise you would suffocate, the ole Viper had no problem breathing not sure how though I couldn't hear it run half the day!!! Raging blizzard all day and still when we left, Muddy Creek lot was not plowed, everyone crowded into Dumont... Mark has some actions shots and I have a few still's I'll post a little later.. Rode with Mark, Dow and his dad....
Have fun this weekend,hope the sun comes out...

Snorkle, googles, turbo....and it would have been epic.

Thanks for pulling my arse out a few times!

You ain't kiddin Greg

MC is a friggin mess with stranded rigs surrounded by 3 feet of snow and the plow banks are getting SnowX proportions. It's coming down at 4 inches per hour! Pulled in about 1:00, but i'm here and DJ is too. Time for a few hours sleep. Morrow should be penomeno and I think i'll stay out of 54

I don't expect we'll get far from the lot or trail! South side should be off the hook.

4 inches per hour sounds about right, we(Mark and Josh at least)did make it to the power lines yesterday but only because the groomer had just made a pass on the trail, already a foot had fallen since the groomer's pass... We trailed a few miles south too, found some rideable snow down that way, snow up towards Buff Pass was just too suffocating, we couldn't ride more than 10 or 15 seconds in it without coming out for air

... The base is perfect as far as I'm concerned, couldn't think of a better place to be stranded, as long as you have enough gas and food.. Careful out there!!

We might make it across the street to the hwy 40 powerlines. lol Still coming down good. Just watching the parking lot high markers for now. OMFG, I just saw the looter go by on a REV!

Figures - best snow of the year and I can't ride it / LOL

You guys enjoy it - be safe and take lots of pictures so I can live through you.

riceburner · Jan 12, 2008

Damm, might have to make a road trip and spoon with bushy

Enjoy!

DJ's dad...Everything is all good, we got er done

He's on his way back safe and sound...with his sled. Nothing a wad of cash and many hours worn't fix (for both of us), but that's sleddin in general

My wrecked hood was a custom mod I made with a lexan skin and aluminum frame with high volume cold air intake. The next one shouldn't take half as long to build

I'd rather be replacing a track! I got a spare one of those in the basement! Next time it hits the snow it should have a new hood and new BMP top-end. Hopefully I get a few more miles on it before I bust it again

That pow is sweeeet out there boyz. Too bad I'm done for awhile. I did find out a motor can eat a whole lot of snow and keep on tickin. Mine ain't runnin too good anymore. Hopefully just the EFI havin problems with the intake bassturdization. Ran good enough to haul him out though! My first tow with the mod. I'm out of here and heading home.

Don't feel too bad Dave, I kinda wish I hadn't started my sledding season until next week with all the troubles I've had this year!

Rave · Jan 13, 2008

Thanks

Thanks for the updates Bushmaster. Now I need to bug him about what track he's gonna buy

Snowmark · Jan 13, 2008

pow

that was some amazing snow...

switchback · Jan 13, 2008

Got blown off on Friday. Saturday was EPIC! Got tired of taking the pow in the face by the end of the day. Had to tow a rev out. Ran into & talked to the bushmaster

Tapped a couple of secret areas Friday & Sunday-less snow but still saweet! Actually got compliments for the Cats & Doos on how well the Nytro ripped

All that hard work pd off this fall.

bushy · Jan 14, 2008

The infamous switchback! lol That sled sounds great. You Minnesotans hit CO just right I'd say

Gotta be a bluebird day up there today!@##$#$

rkymtnman · Jan 14, 2008

Here's a few more for ya then. Hopefully we'll get more snow when you get back. lol DJ took the one of me on my submerged sled (hard to see a sled under me!). Down in those lee slopes the pow was 4 feet deep man

Switchbacks Nytro seemed to be handling it fine. A bunch of us were bangin at that first bunny hill on the south side where the shortcut trail goes through, and making about 20 feet further each time and this fella showed up with an M8 turbo and blows right over it. I'm really questioning my recent BB purchase after seeing that

My "other" "new" top-end should show up this week, along with another hood skin so I may miss this weekend. When you riding next?

Seeing it in motion is sick! Credits to Rotax for taking the time

Not long but you get the idea.
