Watch it guys and gals. The next thing this transplant will tell you is that God logs in to JD just to get snow advice from him!!! He is going to tease us until June 1st 2011 (his last snow ride for the year).

Doo Dr., about the conditions report, there will be no teasing period. Last year we had guys putting bad info on the net. I won't do that. It's important to everyone what is going on here so people can plan trips. Don't care if they choose another riding area as long as they know the real poop here at Togwotee Mountain. Last year we had a bad trail system early on and up high 4-5 ft of powder. The damage was done with this guys bad report. Not this year... And so it goes... no new snow to report, going to cloud up and rain and snow Sat, and Sun. More later...

Carter. I wasn't denying your weather reporting capability. I was stating that you will be teasing us with reports that have been verified "BY YOU"!!!! That's the tease!!! I have not doubt that you will give us a honest report because you are one of the few that ride what you call so we can not second guess you. My only fear is that Klim will not be able to make a helmet large enough to fit your ego (friends giving each other guff)! See ya soon.

Got my report from Dave and Scott....most places had 24 to 30 inches. They rode 3 hours and had a gas.. The base is there and snow is coming now. Small amounts in town with more at elevation. I get jacked up because Togwotee is at or above 8600 so it means its getting the precip. more later...

Yes on riding a Polaris. The fleet this year is 800 RMK's. That is ok with me cuz I don't like the Protaper bars. I already have shocks to replace the stock ones with. Looks like a good sled. One problem I spotted is the tin plate between the footrest and the back of the secondary clutch. Lots of open space for cooling and snow on the clutch. Wet spinning. Working on a fix as we speak...

I want to climb something steep and do some cornice jumps.

can't wait

I love to jump, I have always wanted to drop a cornice also. Lets just say that things change when you are at the top of one, looking down. :)

Tough talk, till you get there. Carter and I was there, I shot the video. Carter was the leader. I was the last in on the idea. "The don't know" was far tougher than "Drag race hill" or "widow maker" going down it was pure doom. The Pro's shooting the videos fail to show the crashes and have unlimited amounts of sleds to go through. skylar, you and I don't have those options. Things change dramatically when at the top looking down and more so on the way down.

Hey you guys, I've got 2 really good drops that will pucker your pucker...Not the " Don't Know", these 2 are must does...I always check these first so we can bail if needed. By the time I'm done with you guys you won't even be thinking "Drops" , its called riding... I do have spots where you can cornice jump, I'll watch... I don't jump well. Also, there are millions of mini jumps that go with the flow of riding, LOL, LOL. Is there room for clean underwear in your backpacks? More later...
