Always one of my fears by the sounds of your day you had. I try to avoid putting myself in those situations but sometimes you can't help it. I have a 156"x2.5" track I'm going to put on my sled hopefully it works out well. Going from a 153" attack 20 I'm having high hopes.

It was a good day, we just got really turned around. A GPS is a handy tool, sure helped us out today:beer:

Well just another wicked deep snow tree day with Kallon, hit a stump and went over the Bars...lol and my sled took a tumble and I lost the lid to my glove box,, as you can see in the first picture thats where my Revy Club sticker was... Fawk...lol

And on the way back to Revelstoke we just about got wiped out by an Avalanche on the Trans Canada in the truck,, Cant even describe it,, just driving along and all of a sudden a HUGE cloud of snow came flying off the side of the Mountain and we were in the middle of it... Almost thought we were done....

Really? That's crazy! Did it come all the way down to the highway or just the dust cloud? Never the less I am sure the guy assessing conditions probably got his ass chewed out.

We were driving, then in the blink of an eye we were in the middle of a huge dust cloud that came down from above. Kallon just pinned it and we never looked back to see if it covered the road or not,, we were both kinda shaken up for a bit..

Dan - saw the Revelstoke Review on Facebook. Apparently there was a truck behind you that got hit. Crazy.
