A couple of others and me are using them, I don't see the others around too much. You will have to pry it outta my cold dead *** hands to get it from me. In other words I love it, it takes to mods just fine.

 

Dammit, I just made this into a thread. But thank you.

 

Revy lost it after a big mess they had two/three years ago, a local guy was high marking and he caused an avalanche dumb F, anyway that killed there rep and two people I think. It was during Revys big hillclimbing contest. That and people from Alberta where killing off their wives, they take them up the mountain with no exp and say see you later, only they did not see them later, I think four wives passed that year.

As for theft yep it still goes on just not near as bad, all the hotels/motels have midnight security now, this has helped lot's. Last year up here we almost had too much snow to go sledding av level was very high. I might go back to grooming this year as a volunteer if I do picks for sure.

Yep a fuzed neck and fuzed lower back bought all my fun sports to a end oh well. Sledding and wack**** are what I miss the most.

 

Holy s***... Wow. The big iron, watched plenty of videos of that one. When I first read your post I thought you meant people would kill their wives and take them into the backcountry to hid them... Terrible I know but that's what I thought i read.

 

Yeah when we went up there we were super careful. It was actually the first time we had seen big Hills like that. We wernt really hillclimbers, but we were definitely experienced backcountry riders. Mostly boondocking, technical riding down where we rode. The first time I saw one of those huge Avalanche chutes I almost messed myself. One of our friends went up it a little bit, and didn't even get past the base to the steep part before he powered out.

 

Well you never know what goes on out here, the lake might be a better place to get rid of a body, people that drown here are most times never found, the undertow is just too strong. Average number that drown each year is about 31.

It's funny to watch newbies sled up here, all talk and no *****, they get to the base and its lets go, then its like you want me to go where up there lol, then there is crossing the av areas that bring most to a dead stop. I was lucky to get two years sledding here it was great, I was a ditch pounder out in MB 3000+ miles a year on a sled. If you ever make it up here or have the wish to go sledding/boating let me know and I can set it up for you.

 

I know allll about it. Too many times we were held back form what we were trying to because we had people with us that had absolutely no business there...i usually never even knew who brought them along they just seemed to show up. I still remember this big guy riding a King Cat (back when they were the big thing) just riding along in front of me, along a single track through a flat meadow. His ski (and only his ski) got barely pulled off into fresh snow. He proceeded to stop, get off his sled, and manhandle his whole front end, by hand, the six inches back onto the trail. I just couldn't believe it. You spent how much on this high end mt sled and cant handle a few inches of fresh snow?

I started riding when I was 7 until i was 19, every weekend every winter for 12 years. It was the one thing i was great at. The looks I got when I was like 14 and like 130 lbs and rolled up on my Mt Phazer still make me laugh. And in case you didn't know, a mt phazer is when you take a stock phazer, and transplant a Yamaha 700 triple out of a Mt Max into it, with triple pipes and a 151" track. Man that was one mean sounding mother.

 

And I will definitely hit you up if i ever get the chance again. Man, I miss sledding, that was my whole life before i came to college. Than life happened, having twins at 22 while trying to finish my degree has been a bit of a challenge, a little earlier than I would have liked haha. No toys for me for awhile.

 

I remember the old Vmax sleds right outta star wars, what a sled back then. I started sledding also back when I was 13 (49 now) the good old days of front leaf springs and bogie wheel rear suspension lol, tnt's, nordics, blizzards, scorpions, jd's, moto skis, jags, crappy headlights and no hand warmers and junk helmets if you had one, -40 and lets go sledding.

Bring the whole family up, summer you can still sled and we can help with the accommodation costs.

Edit: I pulled up Powder lites web site, check out the stuff he builds.

Lets see, my list of sleds I rode; its a miracle i can remember them: '84 enticer 340. My learner sled, I beat the crap out of that thing. then a brand new indy 340, then the phazer, burned the motor and got a indy trail 500. AFter that, dropped the 700 triple-triple into the phazer chassis. Then my dads hand me down, heavily modified Mt Viper. That thing was an animal, probably one of the best running vipers around, that didnt have internal motor work done anyways. I beat everyone we rode with on that thing. Then when my dad upgraded to the Ski-doo XP, I got his basically brand new Dragon RMK. Mostly stock, but still the most powerful thing I had up to that point.

haha dont tempt me. They are pretty little still (15 months) I have to give it a couple years yet until they travel a little better. How late does your riding season go? Generally we would end late April/early may, but I know your seasons last way longer than that.
