Epic Powder!!!
Ride#2 – Pit & I met at the Hiawatha at 8am and trailered up to Pine View in Twin Lakes. They picked up 8″-10″ Lake effect over nite. After a steak & eggs breakfast, we headed north on the Bill Nichols to the Freida Loop with about 18″+ of fresh untract powder on it. The further north we got the deeper it was – up to 3′. We had a blast carving back and forth for at least 20 miles. What an AWESOME day for the 2nd day of riding. They should be able to start grooming before the end of the week…
WE RIDE!!!

I’m Back….
I took my first ride of the season today with Pit Grunt, The Breeze, Groomer John and Hi-Rise, trailered to Pats Yamaha in Greenland where we bought stickers and headed up trail 13 loop to Twin Lakes.We were the first sleds out. After the 1st 5 miles of what seemed like riding in rocks and gravel the 3 young pups decided to turn around & trailer up to Twin lakes while Pit & I kept riding north. 100 yards after leaving the others we were out of the rocky stuff into the wet swampy rutted section and a bit more snow for a few miles. As the trails improved til the last 6 or so miles to Twin Lakes where we were back into gravely crap. We hooked back up with the 3 young bucks about 3 miles short of trail 3. They said they could hear us clacking through the gravel before they could hear our sleds. I never seen another sled track til then. We hung out at Parkview for about an hour before Pit & I headed south on the Bill Nichols and the other 3 headed north past South Range. We wound up back at Pats toenjoy a BBQ Turkey sandwich at there open house and to check out the new Yamahas. As Pit & I headed home The Breeze called me and said they were in 3 feet of LES Powder and snowing like crazy. north of South Range. Tenitive plans to head back up and ride with them tomorrow.
Do not get me wrong this was challenging riding but we had fun and again the first ones out!!!
So enjoy the pics and even have a video from today too!!!
