Re: 2010 Bearcat and M sleds

1548 — 2010-03-05T23:08:13-09:00

Actually its not the handling of the sled that puts me off at all. It actually handles very well in my hands and I can ride that thing fast and hard on trails and throw it around in the powder just fine, but when it comes to the really deep powder and the super steep hills that are almost vertical you can't beat an 800. Honestly, if I made a lot more money I would just run a supercharger on the Nytro and be done with it, but being in the military and knowing I will have to move in a few years ...

Selling My Yamaha

1548 — 2010-03-03T12:26:22-09:00

Ive got the ad up on Craigslist already but what the heck, I'll try here too.

Ive got a 2009 Nytro MTX I'm selling. Its got 750 miles on it and Ive maintained it exceptionally well ever since I own it. It runs really well and it handles trailes better than any mountain sled Ive ever ridden. The Nytro is 1049cc but since it is a 4 stroke they classify it like its a 600cc 2stroke and that is about right, so don't expect to outclimb an 800 2smoke! The big difference is it only needs 7.4 gallon...

Rode summit again this last weekend

1548 — 2010-03-02T12:06:39-09:00

We went to Summit for what seemed to be the 50th time this year. The light was the flattest I have ever seen when we got there. We got up top and it was so bad it made me dizzy breaking trail so we went back down and waited it out a few hours. Sure enough it cleaered up enough that we were able to get a couple good hours in the powder up top. We didn't go very far in but we didn't need to. We found about 5 ft base with about 1ft of powder on top so it was worth the trip after all.

Re: Maclaren Lodge Report-DHTC

64 — 2010-03-01T21:00:41-09:00

Conditions were great on our Maclaren ride last weekend. The highway in and out was the best I have seen it. There is something over three feet of snow in the valley. The top was soft powder with heavier snow underneath. The powder hounds-rode over to hills around Seven Mile Lake on Sunday morning. There was enough deep snow for all of them to get stuck at on place or another. They all looked very satisfied when they got back to the Lodge!

I saw a lot of cameras on our ride. Mine wasn't...

It was a good trip. No, it was a great trip! I'll say more in the ride report for the News Letter. For now I'll just say there is no shortage of snow at Maclaren, the road is in the best shape I've seen, and we all had a good time!

From Maclaren:
Hello Everyone,

Sorry I missed last week’s newsletter but I was elbow deep in oily groomer parts on Thursday and it slipped my mind.

Not a ton of new and exciting things to report this week, but here are the basics.

Maclaren River Road, is in and groomed, watch out for overflow 12 miles up the valley by the big rock. Trail now goes around the lake of overflow, runs along the river bank and connects with the original trail a couple of miles from the rock.

Summitt

511 — 2010-02-24T19:53:54-09:00

We sledded out of the cabins at Summitt Sunday. Weather was bright and clear with plenty of great snow once you got past the alders. Well worth the trip in anyone is considering heading that way.

Thanks it was a good Birth Day. Hope yours was good too.

Well we went down and it was a nice warm day. They didnt get the snow they said they had when I called down. I think they just wanted the business lol. We rode all day. Made our way back to Dunkel Mine and the river was well thawing out. There was a spot about the size of a football field that was open water so we had to skirt it to the left and stay on the gas. When we got back to the mine area the hills were all wind blown and the sno...
