Pretty badass setup! The ability to offer the customers something that you just couldn't get otherwise get is just one more thing to motivate folks to go ride with him! Cool to see a way to get around dealing with the stinking forest circus!!

No doubt....hoping to ride that area when I'm out in December.

I never thought I'd consider a guided sled trip but damn you got me thinking.....

Chris's guide service will NOT disappoint anyone. Worth every penny!

Congratulations Chris and everyone else involved. That adds quite an "edge" to a picky market.

For sure!:face-icon-small-coo

The new lodge sits 800 feet higher then the road and the driveway twists back and forth for 2 miles. Once at the top nothing but jaw dropping views.

Picture from the driveway.

The thoughts running through his head and mine weren't good. Sled was damage free.

The guy from sled head 24/7 must not have watched "Schooled" video that Chris and Brett made? Should have been Left forward not his right while side hilling. Thanks for sharing the pics,

Short of the birth of my 3 children I've never seen any as beautiful as the view up there.

Love the pics SS! Thank you!

The whole set up is so nice, he has some guys working for him that are taking care of the sleds now so you get on and go. Gas is on site and the "garage" should be fully functioning now with heat. When we were there he was still waiting on the insulation guys to finish up. Sounds like he'll be sticking with this set up for now.

Looks awesome. Right on guys!

:thumb:

Looks like a great spot hes got there.

It's very difficult to wrap your head around what 10,000 acres but it's A LOT!
:lol:

Good for your Chris! Glad to see you are TOTALLY set up & at full throttle doing what you love! Have an AMAZING & successful season!
~Amber Holt

PS. Thanks Sled Solutions for the update

Thanks Amber, Chris works really hard at making it worth the $$$ to go ride with him.

We were all a bunch of flatlanders so a few mistakes were made. :face-icon-small-hap

Few more pics from the ride....I have a ton of video but my new computer doesn't have Movie Maker on it so it has to wait.

Buddy was stuck here for a while.

Thanks for sharing! My wife bought me three day/night ride in March.

You are going to LOVE it.....

3 Tips

1. Show up with an open mind and listen to what Chris says. We've learned a lot by just listening.
2. Start drinking water a couple days before and take a lot out riding with you.
3. If you don't feel comfortable doing something just tell him. He would rather you say something rather then wreck his sled.

Have fun and post up some pictures when you get back.
