Riding partners in the Rochester area

[880summitxrs]

Looking to see if there is any interest from local riders that want to head out to the snowies this winter. Most of the group I used to go out with doesn't go out that much and I'm now looking at only 1 trip a year. I was thinking about just picking someplace like BWW and getting together for a beer and just see if there are any other people who have found themselves in this position. I'd be down for even a 4 day trip a couple times this winter. Let me know if there is any interest in putting a group together!

Do you generally do a Xmas/New Years trip every year?

880 - I live in Owatonna and am looking at a couple short (around 4 days) trips this year as well.

I could be interested depending on dates. Also could be interested in talking a "big game" at a local establishment (BWW) sometime.

Looking for an alternative to Yellowstone? Try NW Colorado

It sounds like a lot of you head out west to snowmobile. I thought I would toss this out there in case anyone is interested. I made a donation to a charity and it is a great discount on my normal rates and helps a good cause. <HR style="COLOR: #e8e8e8" align=center SIZE=1 width="100%" noShade> ​

For anyone looking for the best powder this year in Colorado-bar none it is NW CO. I have made a donation to the Iowa Chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (see info below) of a 4 day trip for up to four people to my ride in/out snowmobile cabin in NW CO 1 hour from Rabbit Ears Pass. More people or nights can be added for additional fee paid to me not the charity.

The banquet is Feb 1st and the item will go on sale shortly after 8pm Central time. I do not think you have to attend the event to bid-you may be able to call AJ and ask to phone bid on the item. I am attaching a youtube video that shows the snowmobiling and the cabin.

It is a high end super nice cabin and year to date we have received over 255+ inches of snowfall and since just Wednesday, January 29th through today we have gotten btw 32-36" of snowfall.

I am including a photo taken at 7am this morning and it snowed another foot since then. The photo of the snowmobilers digging out was taken on or about Dec 28th by a group from Iowa that stayed with us. If you need references or any more info call me (Lisa) at 970.926.0216. Our website is wildskies.com
