Today we rode with Brent and hit the Grouse Mountain and back side of Dry Lake area. In all honesty, the snow was better than we were expecting. The snow is like sugar, as it is old. But, we found areas where we had powder to the front bumper and we could get some nice carves in. But you have to work for it and you will ride over down logs. They are calling for a lot of snow in the next couple days. 8 total sleds in our group today and no damage :)

Bent, our group is behind that truck. We have the Top Cap trailer you can see.

Iowa, had breakfast with Al and Gregg this morning. The cat no longer has a working chain case so he is riding a Polaris rental. He did say that it actually isn't too bad for a stock sled.

Only plug in is In the main lot, is on the Front sign, we plug into that while there, others are outside each cabin, but getting a truck trailer there is tough/limited room. Most guys bring the genny if their stuck in the center of the main lot, or park down behind the cabins.

Today

Day 2 we went to Kettle. We had an excellent day of riding and found some real good snow. You still have to be careful as they have not yet got a lot of new snow. It is snowing hard now and we have about 2 inches new snow at the lodge. Our group is very happy that we made the drive out here as we are having a blast. Here are a couple of photos from today.

All the cabins have a 110v. outlet on the front porch by the picnic table. bring a 50' 12 gaugeextension cord and you will be good by the cabins. There are 4 place trailers parked down there all the time. You can also unhook the trailer in the back lot and get the truck closer to the cabin that way.
