Lots of fresh snow the last couple days, warming up a bit though.

All I have is this blurry pic from today. Got soaking wet...

Nice pics Dan. That tree video was pretty cool also. You make it look pretty easy man. The colors on your freeride are sweet.

exactly how i feel brother,days like this are almost spirtual.everything else just fades away,no bs,just you and the hills.that is one epic photo.


For me those days are spiritual. I have spent the last 5 years of my life chasing those days and only have had a few.
Sure I have lots of great days sledding, but for a day like that a lot of things have to go right.

Perfect snow, perfect light, the whole mountain to ourselves and most importantly the perfect crew.

Nobody yard sales their sled the first 10 mins, nobody go gets stuck in a creek for an hour, nobodies sled ****s the bed,
everybody can make it to where I want to go ext ext

Doesnt happen like that too often,, those days you just dont want to come down.


Run out of gas a mile before the truck kinda day. Im not really much of a poet, but I wish I could describe in words what those days mean to me.

I think you need to wait and see what Cat comes out with for the Mountain Cat. I don't believe all off the bad that people are talking about belts and bulkheads, but I bet you could break a bulkhead if anyone could ;)

Would be cool if you bought one. Then we would know what they are really like. Your not full of sh!t and tell it like it really is.

Saw picks of the updated bulkhead on the Freeride and Summit for next year. They have it reinforced pretty good now hopefully Dan.

Were they broken from rock/tree strikes or from say landing a jump? Just curious.

Yeah Im not too worried about the Freeride, Skidoo would make sure that sled can take a beating I think.

It is still based off the RS chassis?

That is Classified information right now because he is still dealing with SkiDoo. Sorry man, said Id stay quite.

No worries. I'm just trying to gauge how big of a issue it really is. Thanks anyway.

Would expect that but honestly have just seen pics so far so not totally up to speed. Need to just ingest a **** load of info first.
