Went sledding yesterday to Boulder and there was about 2 foot of fresh and you could find stashes of 3 foot or more in other areas. It was fairly socked in but had some breaks in the cloud and was getting face shots (the good kind) all day long. Ripping powder turns, down turns, drops and a damn sore body today. My buddy dropped his sled into a steep creek and we had to dig it out and there was about 7-8 feet of snow in the creek. So friday and saturday did the place wonders. Whoops are terrible on the trail though...:d

Hey Dobir Went to Revy this weekend. It was green grass going in on thurs, but woke up fri morning to snow. It hasn't stop snowing since, it was socked in all weekend so didn't get very far. The groomer is at the bottom now at frisby, didn't ride sunday so don't know if they were grooming the bottom or not. So good news is that it snowed really hard all weekend but you couldn't see anything so did get a whole lot of ridin in, but still beat a good day a work

Arrived Thursday in Revy to brown grass at Glacier House, only to wake to about 6" of fresh snow Friday morning and it continued to snow all weekend untill about Sunday noon when we had to head home.:(

On Friday made it back to penis point (green forestry tower), snow was not bad :rant: approx. 6-8" of fresh, which was disappointing as that is what was at the bottom, usually if 6" down low, would be a lot more up top, but not so.

There are still plenty of landmines to watch out for as my nephew found out the hard way and messed his front end up pretty good, also a couple of other sleds missing skis, trailing arms etc, Bottom line is there is just enough to cover up the landmines at Frisby, heard it was same at Boulder.

Parking at Frisby is now from the main parking lot and trail passes are $15.00. Trail on Sunday was groomed from the bottom, but after 30 sleds or so, it was getting pretty rough, especially coming down, just not a good base yet.

No pics as it was just to foggy etc.

Guys with the amount of traffic, just getting snow down low and the warm temps. it`s tough to get the trails to set up. Both mtns. were groomed Fri. Sat. and Sun. night. It will get better just need more snow and cooler temps.

Hey Hitech>>>did you you figure out a way to fasten those plastic rulers to the track on that John Deer rocket of yours. I thought the idea of the libby's bean can to replace the stock can was good, more horse power and your sled really farts now, and it gets so hot you can cook a dog on it. Heard you knocked the orange flag off the back two weekends ago when you hit a tree pulling a beer out of the drink holder on the handle bars....get it fixed yet.

Oh the gang from super 8 called...you can stay there at huge discount again. Apparently the 27 dozen empties you left in your room, in the hall, in the hot tub, in the lobby and in the parking lot helped pay a lot of bills there. Apparently the older gal with no teeth and stinking moccassins you left there isn't really welcome back, they hinted she wasn't potty trained and a lot of the chairs, bedding etc could not be re used after they cleaned the room.

Something about a smell "like the outhouse door off a salmon boat".

Anyways looking forward to riding with you again Saturday....sent Don Cherry a video of you breaking the beer bottle over the dude's head in Golden Bar and the ensuing bar brawl.....Grapes sent a note back saying it was even too gritty for his liking.

Oh yeah...you better bring a roll of tissue..... I felt bad to see you ride with no socks last time we went out, thats must be hard standing on the running boards with those worn out moccasins.

Cheeers!!!

Good riding Big Sky
