Lol I almost lost it there once last season. But fortunately since I was on a skidoo with lots of power it was just wheeling through all the hard ruts. No prob. :)

Awesome video. He was not letting go of that sled. To funny. That's a steep chute I figured it would have rolled a lot faster since he was right at the top.

Hmmm, I may be mistaken, maxwell, but wasn't that a Doo holding the yard sale in that vid ? If I'm correct, it's no big loss. Rider looked fine and those sleds are disposable anyways.

snow conditions were a little on the harder side this past weekend...this guy tried climbing the hill after he saw 2 from our group go up and over...i bet he wishes the snow was just a little softer...

3 for effort on the climb.......0 for grabbing the brake and preventing........10 for entertainment

Rode Westridge yesterday, looked like it was going to be pretty socked in but it opened right up as we got to the top. Only played in the 1st couple bowls. Snow was pretty hard and slippery but you could go anywhere you pointed your sled!! Trail in was okay, wont be long before it starts getting in pretty rough shape. Probed at approx 6500ft and my 300 probe went all the way in without touching bottom, so still 10+ feet up there.

Just after 8km on the Westridge FSR, pulled off the road and unloaded into snow. Was a bit slushy in spots... but still rideable snow from the trucks to the alpine. Ill post a couple more pics.

We just ended up bypassing most of the wet stuff but it wont be long and it will all be wet if you go in this way.

judging by that photo i wouldnt take that way anymore. that's a gigantic swamp once the ice melts and it looks like its well on its way LOL

Ya it was pretty sketchy in spots for sure, even some decent holes showing up on the trail leading up to and just passed the "swamp" lol. We had no troubles avoiding the main wet spots by going wide, but id give it a week tops at this rate and it'll be all water/slush.
