Bearclaw bob's report from Cooke city

bearclawbob · Nov 27, 2011

Morning to everyone. I've made it back from Vacation and ready to start posting for another year.

I'll be going out Tuesday to ride and give you a first hand update on the conditions.

The town has been busy for the last several days. But we had a bad accident yesterday, resulting in having life flight come in.

The SUPER 8 MOTEL will have its great room specials again this year, so keep checking my posts.

The bakery was open today, Terri had a great turn out for the first day back.

For me, you will have a place to store or work on your sleds in a heated garage or I'll even work on sleds this year. We will have race fuel, lots of parts for sleds, along with Beacon rental and the best price you can find on helmets. So come in and check out the store or have breakfast.

FIRST UPDATE WILL BE TUESDAY 11/29/2011

I heard he broke his leg and something of the short that his sled rolled on top of him with the throttle wide open....i think thats what tore his leg up...don't quote me though...we out on Sat and till about 1 on sunday. Snow was great. Watch the rocks....i would wait for another storm now if you gotta travel alot...its really tracked up and the snow starting to settle and set up. Found some chest high pow

....Trail is as rough worst part of the whole day but great first ride!

avy by lulu

Was about 20 yards away from the Avy on LULU....didnt even notice it to my left as I was climbing. All our crew was out of the way, I believe I caught it in action on my helmet cam, definetly have video of it after it slid, will post some links to it once I pull it from my cam to youtube....

Agreed, trail was terrible by saturday, althought dropping down daisy and head off to the left, areas of chest deep pow....WATCH FOR ROCKS, all in all was good early season riding!

Why do people still climb the chutes by Lulu? These areas are well known to slide all the time.

Why do people climb Crown Butte? It is not if Crown Butte slides, it is when. Unfortunately there is a huge percentage of snowmobilers that are either not educated enough, or just plain stupid. I really hope this year isn't as bad as I think it is going to be. I am hoping and praying we don't get a really cold snap followed by snow, the conditions could be disastrous. Lots of play areas in Cooke, but people still feel the need to pound the most avalanche prone slopes.

Wednesday 30th of Nov.

Woke up to snow and its been snowing on and off since 5 am.. We have had about 3-4 inches in town so far.
The snowman is calling for a winter storm warning, starting at 3 pm today and lasting until 9 am tomorrow.:devil:

No one has be in town riding since Sunday, so the powder should be excellent by this weekend.:faint:

When your headed out, have a safe drive and I'll see everyone soon.

Bob how is it looking? A group of friends and I are heading out next Thursday. I hope we can find some good snow

Did you catch the storm?? How much snow?

summithd · Dec 1, 2011

IMO, don't waste your time driving hundreds of miles to ride what there isn't in Cooke! Pretty sketch in most places.

I heard you guys are done making sled vids. Is this true?

lingnine · Dec 1, 2011

I just heard from my salesman at the ski doo dealship that a couple buddies of his went to Cooke last weekend. Monday morning they both came into the dealer for repairs from hitting rocks... Doesn't sound like a good deal

Impatientforsnow · Dec 1, 2011

rode cooke yesterday 3 outta 5 of us made it out alive$$$..still alot of rocks ... and noticed.. alot of slides...:face-icon-small-dis

Don't be stupid

Afternoon to everyone, Well the storm that was coming, didn't come. The snowman let me down. But he is calling for more this weekend.:face-icon-small-fro

We received a trace in town. For the riding, if you are going to be stupid, yes you can hit things like Rocks and Stumps. But if you take your time and just have some fun, you won't have much problem.

Remeber its still early to ride hard. Its not like last year when we could ride most places by now. I went out this morning and found some areas that was ok, NOT GREAT. So hang in there, the snow is coming.

If you are looking at renting a sled stop in and check out our prices. You will like them. Don't forget we rent beacons, probes, shovels, packs. Yes we even rent Avalance bags. :face-icon-small-hap

We are looking at adding something new at the bakery, keep watching the site and you'll find out what its going to be. We will be starting it Dec 28th 2011. :face-icon-small-hap

If your looking for Supe price, call the Super 8 motel and find out what the snow special will be this year. 1-877-338-2070

From the whole crew , we want to thank you for your patronage.
