Albany lodge area with trail sleds
- Thread starter Hoosier
- Start date
hey Hoosier, there are 8 of us heading out tomorrow from chicago. we all rode short tracks our first few times and now were all on longer track sleds. if you get to centennial before friday look us up at the Durango cabin which is part of the Old Corral ownership. walldoo
Cool. We're supposed to get there Thursday. Sounds like the Durango cabin is right by Old Corral? We've rented mountain sleds near togwotee twice but haven't been to the snowies before. Can't wait.
Have a great time! We will be out there the 25th! Remember to bring fuel caddies with you! Sounds like they are getting dumped on right now, so hopefully they get a chance to go out and groom the trails for you! If you have a GPS send me your email address and I can send you the trail system as a GPS file!
The snow will be deeper on the west side, and if things aren't groomed the first couple days,m head south across libby flats where the snow will not be as deep.

I sent you a pm with my email address. Thanks for the tips. By fuel caddies do you mean tanks that mount on the sleds? We don't have any of those, plus I'm not sure where we'd mount them on our short-tracks.
GPS Files
blutooth- Do you mind sending me the gps file? I have a garmin and use map source. My wife and I pulled the pin on our 5 day back pack trip in UP last week. Was hoping to chase a storm in the next week or two, but I see the temps and doesn't look good. I ride Pro Rmk & wife rides RMK 144. Usually go to Tog but can't get myself up to the extra 5 hours in a vehicle. My email address is brent@snapfireworks.com.

We ended up riding this past Friday through Monday. Stayed at the Old Corral in Centennial. Had an incredible time. Just such a blast to play in the snow out there. We had a dealer in Laramie jet the Polaris' before riding (the Cat is EFI) the first day, and then we changed the clutch weights ourselves for the last 3 days (sleds were dogs with the sea level clutching). It was a long drive, but well worth it. We obviously couldn't venture as far out or climb as well as the mountain sleds, but we were pleasantly surprised by where our trail sleds went. We rode quite a bit of the trails out there to see what was out there and get our bearings, but we stopped and played quite a bit also.
Blutooth - your gps files were extremely helpful out there. Particularly on the day when it was real windy, it made it a lot easier to find our way around and know where we were.
We had two problems - ruined a trailer tire on the way out, and 80 was shut down on the way back East of Laramie. We found an alternate route between Laramie and Cheyenne that was open but wish we would have just waited for 80 since it was a difficult drive.
Can't wait to head back to this area or somewhere else out West. Since my track is nearly shot, I'll probably return with my same sled but a better track, perhaps longer but at least with more of a paddle on it. Going to look into going with Mom's motorsports next time also. Seems like it would be worth a little extra to not have to drive and deal with our trailer.
