Pics! From the 2010 Colorado Forum Ride - Sweet!

W
So the internet connection was all of 1 kb at the house (took 45 minutes to upload 3 pics). So I'm now back at work and here are some cool pics from the ride.

The one thing I have learned and witnessed is that owning a Turbo sled requires an open pocket book and lots of lost days riding.

Enjoy the pics.

Thank God for Rhino Garmin Radios... they kept riding past me and finally had to walk out to the edge of the trees and through the storm someone finally spotted me. I really didnt put it here, it was a tree branch that wipped me off my sled.

sweet pics ED!!

forgot how fluffy saturday was...........after how awesome sunday was.....

great weekend guys!!

Next year will be EVEN better guarnteed! But unfortunately, it wont be associated w/ this SITE.

According to the powers-that-be on SW, they will be hosting their own 4M rides paid for by your prem dues.........


So expect 2 rides next year!! One for the 'paid peeps' and one for original SW'sters that have left.........:(
yep, i'm stirring the kettle...

:face-icon-small-ton

Just remember, the members organized this ride not the website or its 'mods'. Hats of to bushy, XC, Mule, skijumper, skijumpers-Ex, zachckreek, bohica and all the members that rounded up donations and made contributions!


Well done SW'sters!

Wow! Looks like you guys picked the right time and place for the ride. Sure wish our snow conditions looked like that. What would you estimate the total amount of snow around the lodge is?

Great pics Winterfreak! Nice seeing everybody again and meeting some new sledding buddies:face-icon-small-hap Thanks to Bohica for guiding us to some great snow and terrain :beer; :beer; The snow was so kickazz we lost track of time and missed out on the lunch at the Y :( We did show up, just a little late for the food. Thanks to Mtndoo and Gunni for putting that on and the other stuff you did behind the scenes.

Great job on the raffle, Shawn, Mike, Nick and all the sponsors that kicked in the goods! Thanks to all that came to our BBQ on Sunday and pitched into the can. We raised $150 for the WRFA (nearly half was donated by Quinton!) We polished off 10 racks of ribs, but I have 5 more in the fridge:face-icon-small-sho Zachcreek, you should have reminded me to divy up the extras on Monday morning. Sorry.. Ah well, party at RE real soon and I'll get rid of them ;)

A few pics for Sunday.

Gee Mark, thanks for letting me know you were heading down.:face-icon-small-sad:face-icon-small-win JK... I would have been stoked to bring the TM1200 down Sunday. Turbo snow baby. We hit the Mesa. It was ok, but looks like the Butte was off the hook.
