Reserve your guide (not always possible) it will give you some bargaining power on what guide you actually get. Carter if you want a learning experience. Noah for bush wacking lol. Never rode with Lefty but heard he is great! You will be hooked!
Lefty is indeed great...as is Brent. If you've never been there before any of the guides will give you more than you can handle!!! Which is awesome.
Regarding what to bring:
- Tog rents beacons...not sure about shovels and probes. If you have a small, collapsable shovel you might want to bring it.
- sno-bunje if you have one. If not, no big deal.
- backpack -- the rental sleds have zero storage.
- if you are driving out, bring snacks and gatorade, water, beer, etc. If flying, you can buy all that when you get there. Either in Jackson or at the convenience store at Tog...just be more expensive than bringing from home.
What dates are you there? I'll be there with a couple groups from Feb 7-13.
You are going to have a blast!!

Last time we were out there, we had pine needle bob, also a great guide, we were in the trees the whole as that's what we wanted to do.
Bring water, lots of water. Unless you dont drink like my crew, bring a camera, & some extra $$$ Maybe something to help you sleep, some people have a hard time sleeping @ that elev. I know that I did... no matter how much whiskey I'd drink. Have a great time & make sure to post pics!

Brain,Thumb,Track........ohhh Bob.......had blast with Bob....
I would start working on cardio, less air here... Lol Altitude sickness is real & effects us all differently. Your best off avoiding alcohol your first few nights & concentrate on good hydration. Gear wise, layer with water prof shell so you can adjust to weather & type of riding. At a minimum 2 pair of gloves & goggles ( if you wear mx style helmet) choose lens color that helps with contrast in flat light. If your using a shielded helmet, our rentals are not wired for heated shields. We do rent beacons mandatory by the NSF on off trail guided groups. We also rent packs, shovels & probes. If your on a rental, might not hurt to bring your tunnel bag from home. Check to see if it works on 13 rmk / pro climb first. If you can fit it a boot dryer is always nice.. Hope this helps, if you have any questions I'll be checking back. Lefty

John, we like to use story's involving the mythical 600 called the crippler for entertainment purposes only....
Only after one starts to reeeeely feel confident, do we change the game by throwing the legend into the mix. LOL
Until then, there is really no need. It's just unneeded weight....

I think you just need to be willing to dig when needed. Last time I was there, we rode with Lefty and I got stuck a bunch of times, many of them from my stupidity or lack or skills, or both. I got the impression the guides don't care as long as I was willing to put the work in to get unstuck and try to do what they tell you to do to avoid getting stuck the next time you are in the same situation. The only comment I got back was to spring for the 800 next time (I was on a 600, which combined with my riding skills didn't seem to have enough power for me). Some of the best days I ever had were riding out there...

We are currently out here riding and found my brothers sled which is a 2002 rmk 800 to operate with 10-60 weights in the primary with the stock springs in both clutches. And for jetting we found the mains work good as 350 with the needle clip in the #1 position with the washer on top. I am not saying that it will work for you but it seems to be working perfect for us.
