I just got back from West Yellowstone. Had the best 4 days of riding I have ever had. The snow up there is the best they have had in many years. The town has an 8 foot base, it's awesome to see, every thing is buried in powder! We rode every thing including hill climbs, meadows, drift pounding and shredding powder covered trails. It was awesome every day. The second day we rode there was 1.5 feet of fresh powder in the morning! There are hundreds of miles of amazing mountain trails :)

920 km's of hard riding in 4 days... what a blast... I highly recommend it for anyone, West Yellowstone (not the National Park) is a great place to ride, heres a few shots.

Great pics Scotty I rode there 2 years ago and it was great then too!!! Maybe next year I will take you down to other great riding areas south of the border!!:D When I was there we had a guide take us out the first day.....what a bonus!! One guy in our group hit a tree and broke the trottle handle. That night we were sitting in the hotel having supper and drinks. Mark the guide and a friend of his comes in and tells us your sled is ready to go they fixed it while it was on the trailer and dark out and we had no idea!!! great place and great people!, so needless to say they got alot of free drinks that night!!!! Thank You West Yellowstone!!:D

I agree... great people there... the dealers were the best I've ever seen. My brother went to the Cat dealer to get his ecu reflashed on his F1000 and they had him out the door in about 30 minutes and at no charge! Another guy we were there with had a minor performance issue with his Summit 800 and he was delt with in the same fashion! They seem to want to help you out instead of making you feel like you're a pain in arss like the dealers here :confused:
