Awesome day today! Went up Turtle with a crew of fellow Revy sled bums, Shaede,Carter,Robby,Johny, ext ext Big Group of us.
We broke trail in the back way and we were meeting up with another big group of Revy locals/Regulars that were busting up the front side.
No tracks,, I busted into the back of eagles solo, no else wanted to head up the chute cause of the avy risk,
maybe not a great idea but I went any ways.

We had a pretty good crew, so Shaede wanted to bust up the Kirkup creek to the lakes on Boulder.

We had a few guys that were struggling with the "trail" (Basically Climbing up a RUNNING water fall, DEEP Holes, steep side hills and in a serious terrain trap)
So it took a few hours.

No one else has done it this season. We usually Drop it,In good snow.... Today we climbed it in chit snow, that isnt deep eneogh to cover the running water, Rock&Logs...

Disclaimer: Don't try this. Expert/ Psycho run only.

We mader up/out just as it was getting dark. Headed to the Cabin to warm up for a bit.

I ran out of gas 5km's from the truck,,, awesome day!

Haha the guys I named are really good riders and had no issues. I didnt really know the guys that were struggling. But yeah I hear you.

And I never have a shortage of people to ride with.

And the only reason I put the disclaimer is I don't want someone to see this, then head up that trail and get killed. It's not hard to find.

But then again why should I care?? Head up there if you want.

We wanted to do some more riding, so Alek joined us for a night run up Boulder. We went back to Turbo.

With this chit weather we,ve been having and not wanting to spend money on the sled. I had been falling behind on the Sled maintenance.

It was starting to look pretty Ratty. So I fixed my bumper and put new rubbers in my skies(kept catching the crusty snow, went over my bars like 5times on Sat)

And ordered new skies, should be here Wensday. A Y pipe bolt vibrated out and made a big mess under the hood. Fixed that.

Bar risers and grab bar are screwed, so Ill be putting on a new(aftermarket) risers on.

The Sled is looking better, but I still need to Rebuild the front/ rear suspension. New bushings ext.

There is some slop in it. Needs to be tightened and needs bushings.
