Lenny likes that, wish I had been invited! Is it because I own a cat now?

Thanks!
We only wasted one day looking for a good zone and that day was needed as a rest day anyways! Having a great group to go with regardless of rider skills makes a huge difference!

that's a nice video and thanks for posting it, watched it twice now!

Two times for myself and a third time to show Austin
I watched it a 3rd time now. Do a bit of off trail and backwoods riding, buds making plans for a mountain trip next season. Hope it pans out looks awesome. I will need to rent, or buy sled more capable of mountain ride. Sure looking forward to it.

This is really good! A classic Cooksend Production. I always learn something from watching these, both from a camera perspective and a riding perspective. Also learn about a few things that I never want to attempt. Tons of good riding footage again this year and some funny stuff. I still think the "Redemption" segment from last year was one of the best ever.

You guys must have stayed at the apartment again this year.

We really could have had some better footage if we would have worked a little harder for it. Sometimes you just pull into a spot, see the line and throttle up without thought. We did however catch enough to put this one together!
I agree that the Redemption scene was cool. We tried to throw a few re-entries this year and ended up stuck everytime. Mashed tater snow would swallow the ski and spindle or crusty snow wouldn't allow the sled to turn.
This year we stayed across the street from the Apt. at the Moosehaven. It was so nice having 3 bathrooms... LOL. Mary has been great the last few years that I have stayed there and lot's less traffic on the Lava side of the pass! The Moosehaven is great for large groups as I believe it has 11 individual beds!!! Sure makes for a cost effective trip...

Nice!

I laughed at the head in the hole at around 1:50. Have yet to be in that situation...yet... but for some reason can still relate! :)

Funny ending as well!

That was awesome vid. I was at Togwotee and back country for the first time last week. Went out with Noah on Wednesday right after the big storm. Learned a lot, humbling at times. 40 years of riding made me look like a beginner at times in the back country. I will learn from this vid also. Thanks Guys.

Is it so wrong to laugh before you ask if a friend is OK? Pretty sure a couple of us peed a bit laughing at that one! We had not seen an ending like that before and thought it could be kind of cool.

Thanks Lefty Jim. I still remember my first time west and can tell you that many years later the mountains still humble me every time I go. Already looking forward to next years trip!

Not sure how wrong it is. Sometimes you just can't help yourself. What I think is good is that the cameras always come out long before the snow bungees, shovels, or anything that resembles an offer of help.

Moosehaven looks pretty cool and with the ditch being groomed again, it's an easy ride out/in. Pretty hard to beat the Mountain Pinnacle Properties. The cabin we stayed in last year (Mary's summer home) had to be the biggest cabin I've ever been in. The place was massive.

Quick question: Do you have any hand-held cameras or do you just use your Contours/GoPros? Thinking about picking up a third Contour and finding a short, extendable tripod that I can mount it on and just jam it in my backpack.
