Glad you had a good ride, Dan. Glassman & I broke our new Pro's in at Allen Ck on the 17th& 19th. Could not believe how deep the snow was !! Deep snow, bluebird skies on Friday and no machine issues. Epic first ride !!

Allen is in good shape, but Chappel was 2 feet deeper, couldn't get to the alpine lol. Too bad we missed ya

We got our first ride in today... snow was packed enough we got around pretty dang good actually.

I'll add a few pics shortly:D

Got out for the first ride on Saturday... Sleds ran good, weather was good, snow was spring-like... only 4 ft on the ground, but we could go anywhere we wanted:D:D

It was great chatting with a few familiar faces - Rick's Rev and his buddy, and Jeeper and his friends:beer;

A few pics...


Good to see the post is still standing

We even got a little climbing in... usually have to wait till there's at least 7 ft to even get up to the bottom of the hill.... we were climbing all the way up with 4 ft:eek::D:cool:

Right on Seth, looks like a good time! Those boulders sure look nasty.

One more night shift, and I'm free to head to the mountains again... maybe a day trip or two by the end of the weekend, and then next monday were going for a couple days.
