Wintertime and Revkev will post picks, we got about 6 lap tops out here. Snow is about 6 ft deep at this cabin. It's insane.

Island Park, Idaho.....
12 riders in the BIG rig on the way out. 24 sleds. 4 Guys sent sleds and drove out, and another 5 flew out and sent there sleds and gear with our transport unit. Plus we had a small group meet us here wrapping up there two week trip.
The conditions are favorable on the east west side of two tops. A mild warm up today created snow base that made it easy to poke around in the trees and mess around with some small climbs on the way up. There is a ton of snow based up from early year and last weeks blasting plus there was a layer of fresh about 4-8 inches. Here are a few pics from today. All you guys with shorties debating on making it out here look closely at the 500 Formula 121 and the Rush 121, not trail riding either.

Day 2....
Well, the snow has officially set up. Warm days and cool overnight temps have based up some hero snow. Even the 121's are off trail riding ALL day long. We hit white elephant pass, jefferson, dropped yahoo and out to red rock. A great day to be climbing and posting high marks in the faces.

1-My doo in a tree well. Kevins' sled took a ghost ride down the hill. I managed to catch it, hit it and deflect it away form these trees. However, it pushed me in.
2-121 fun on the way to Jefferson.
3-another angle of the doo, down in it
4-Rev Kev, looking at Sawtell Peak
5-Ben, tickled pink as a teen on prom night after spending half a day on a mountain sled for the first time. Pulling this hill you could see the adrenaline in his eyes.

Nop, Its Jefferson. Go a couple miles west of Shotgun, then go north up thru hells Canyon and follow the tracks. This is where the big Boys go to play.
Here is a shot from the top of Jefferson 10500ft, went there on day two and posted some high marks. We didn't take the pass your talking about(shotgun to white elephant). We scaled the south east side of Sawtell and poked our way into Jefferson near white elephant then moved north ripping up the range. Dropped off Yahoo and down to Red Rock. Now that was a run for the boys.
