Fairbanks Snow Travelers

A buddy of mine wants to come along to Cantwell this weekend, but he rides a short tracked thundercat. Think he will be allright at Cantwell with the 121" track? Not sure if its going to be all off trail riding or not. I'm up for offtrail but its probably not a good idea with his sled. Wherever...

As much as I really do want to ride out to the Windy gap, the last time I rode to the cache mountain cabin the last 3 miles was the worst trail conditions I have ever been on. I ride a mountain sled and the only way you could get me to go through that is for it to drop 2ft of powder or for me to buy...

We went down last saturday. Snow was decent when you were in the trees but most of the fields were wind blown. We found one field that was protected from the wind and it was a blast to play in. I found snow upwards of waist deep right off the road in the trees. I think it would have been a better ri...

Are you the 2 guys that blew the belt on the flats? I was on the grey Summit. Yep. That was us. About 2 hours after you stopped by the M7 blew a belt too. When I was going to change it the secondary clutch came off in my hands! Apparently the bolt was so loose it fell off and made the secondary sta...

The plan is to be at the monument by 10:00. Im in a black Tacoma with a Nytro and a M7 in tow.

Hope to see ya there.

Yes we park at the monument. Hopefully it wont be flat light conditions when we start and we can head straight up top and play for hours!

Here are the pics I got from this past weekend at Summit too.

Trust me John. After getting myself buried in a 12ft deep cornice.... If you want to get stuck, it wont be hard to find a place to bury it

We had so much fun at summit this weekend we are going back again. Right now its just me and one other guy. I will be leaving from North Pole around 6:00 am Saturday morning. Come on out, the snow up there is great. By this weekend that 3ft of fresh powder should be settled down enough so we wont ge...

Snow conditions have gotten a lot better since you went to summit. I went about 2 weeks ago and I didn't scrape rocks at all going up the first hill. There were a couple spots you could see the top of some of the bigger rocks poking through but they were easily avoided. I posted pics of the powder d...

Went to summit this past Sunday and had a pretty good ride. The only downside is that my backup sled that my buddy was riding on was too underpowered and I didnt jet it properly for the elevation so it couldn't make it through the pass to the tit. We wound up heading back toward the monument and pla...

Well I called down to Paxson lodge and confirmed 20 inches of fresh snow at the lodge and 30 inches of fresh POW at Summit lake. I'm heading down on Sunday for a day ride and I may be staying the weekend next weekend if the riding is good. Unfortunately I don't have any open trailer spots but I'd lo...
