snowmobile season is over


Well I figured since Julee gets to blog all the time I could a little bit. We had a great year of sledding with quite a few days of 3 ft fresh powder. Just incredible. Because of the high snowpack I had my last ride Saturday June 20th. Despite riding over sagebrush, creeks, and dirt once we got up to 9000 ft elevation there was still decent snow. This is a photo of one of the chutes I climbed. You can see my track going up through it. For reference the lone rock sitting by it's self to the left of the begining of the narrow part of the chute is the size of my snowmobile. Spring time snow isn't the funest to play in but the best to climb things like this because there is zero avalanche danger. There is also a link of me and some of my buddies riding here if you don't have anything else to do :) Worth watching though:
