JB, you ever do the crossing to Quartz?

from town the drive is only 5 minutes to stagging area and I think the groomed trail is 15kms maybe 25kms at max, to the lake then you can ride in a few directions once in their, you can actualy get over into quartz if ya know where to go. QUOTE]

No I have not, someone pointed me in the direction one time but I have never made the trek.
maybe at the mania ride if we go to Golden again we will have to try. I am not to sure if it is worth it or not meaning gas and time cutting trail, but on the right day it could be fun.

A deep powder day in Gorman would be wicked. That first hill up from the trail would be a good climb in the right conditions.:cool: Hey Shawn; do you have the footage of you climbing that one way chute between the rocks and the trees in the back of Gorman? In case you don't remember; my bro-in-law and I were looking at it with our RT's and pu$$ied out,:eek: then you thought better of it for awhile before you checked it out with a test run to the point of no return; then hit it. :beer::beer:

that would be sweet,
do ya think my new ride will be hard on fuel at W.O.T. all day lol.
how many miles would be your guess per tank on a average day,
I will need a nice gas rack, as the sled does not have one.

If it's in McBride it would be good for a change. Plus the Renshaw is a huge area with riding for all skill levels IMO. Plus there is a better chance I'll actually be able to go this year :d

Too late in the spring and the south faces can be a problem. The ride is very doable for what I consider intermediate riders. Awesome views .

If you ride it like the previous owner.......yup a all day trip will need fuel.:d
Running hard I would quess 50 miles
Thought it still had the stock tunnel on it?
What we have done in the past is unloaded at Gorman early and then sent 2 trucks to Qaurtz.....1 truck gets left there..and the driver and second truck returns to Gorman...........at the end of the day....all drivers pack into the truck at Qaurtz and head back to Gorman to drive all units to Qaurtz. The days are long and this way we can spend alot more time at each area.
