Hey sumx54, there were 6 of us who made it in, not 4 (remember), B TEAM showed you the way in. You guys didn't want to play with the big boys, you wanted to go to the bunny hills (Leucile).

Lots of snow but still a few rocks to hit. Snow is a couple feet over the deck almost. Leucile 1 Rev XP 0

the snow was about 2-3 feet above the cabin deck, I probed the snow about half a km to the east of the cabin and only had about 5 inches of my probe sticking out 8' probe, there is a little less snow up higher as it was a little more windy.

they were unloading at km 2 with only a few inches of snow, i heard about half way there was 2 feet on the trail. we decided not to go in a this was a test session for a new mod sled we have. it was a good thing we never went in because we blew the o-rings out of the head .

So how did the XP work for ya??

It was Awsome, it ran real well and loved the deep snow. It was very responsive in handling, easy boondocker. My hand warmers did quit like every other XP owners, but I'm told it is an easy fix from the DEALER. It was also real good on fuel. I'm happy.

He was a little upset at the Nitro's unique high marking ability. But he was surrounded by Team Yamaha!

Would have been great if you guys would have came up to the Renshaw on Saturday. It was great riding. I may have to re-thing what I ride after riding Carls XP. I was really impressed with it. Very easy to manuver and had good power. Kept the RPMs up when I was climbing with it. Needs a longer track though. The XPs are the real deal and no I dont have one. If you bounce off a rock its gonna bend though. The bill is $580 in parts.

I can you say XP turbo in my future?

Here's one of " 05summitxxx " trying out a new Nytro and falling off it. I'll try and get some small video up on here when I have time and figure out how.
