NICE. fun times been there, alone no help getting out.
Years ago, I was in my truck followed my son to school one day. He was riding along a fence line and never came out to the road. Saw the snow flying and he then made it to the road. Said he nose dived in to a drift and was luck enough to dig his back end out, then put it in reverse to get out.

I wonder if skiroule ever found snow that deep with it? I think that's Kelly's old sled. He's looking at Dad wondering "now what?" Good times!

Great pic! Once he gains confidence you will need to be faster with the camera as he blasts through it....LOL
Yep, it's Kelly's old sled. He should have put a bigger track on it before we bought it!I wonder if skiroule ever found snow that deep with it? I think that's Kelly's old sled. He's looking at Dad wondering "now what?" Good times!

That is awesome! He almost pulled it off. Most importantly, you took a photo before helping him. I like it.
Reminds me of an experience my son had on that very sled (he was much older than your son is at the time). We were doing a little "exploring" and had to cross a semi-frozen creek. He made it but by now the suspension was pretty much packed with slush/ice. When he hit the deep powder on the other side she sunk like a rock. Between the ice, slush, and snow that skid had to weight at least 200 lbs.
We eventually got him back on the trail and of course he was gone like a shot but he flung chunks of snow/ice for miles. He still remembers that episode.
Maybe I should have put a taller track on
