- Start date
we try to do new yrs at rabbit ears. but last few yrs have not worked out so ended up driving to silverton and alpine.
this new yr we were thinking of parking the toy hauler outside of red lodge at the last parking lot open just before closed 212
weather permitting.
prob 1 trip to the ears mid feb
nothing planed for any other yet but highly poss a trip to the black hills with a big crew.
rent the big shack with 10+ guys split up in the AM trail/crossover guys 1 way and the rest of us the other .the hills can be fun and deff not a huge drag drive.
one of these yrs I really want to do Donner pass late season going to have to be a fly and rent deal

Full package. Loft if 4 cabin if 3. At tog the pkg is best way. No one wants to do dishes, haul in booze, cook, etc. Lot to be said hanging out at happy hour with Carter and Lefty before dinner. Looking at March 2 or 9 to get there. 5-6 nights. At Cooke we do our own thing as far as guide and eat at Bear Claw Bobs. That is Jan.6What's your dates Wayne?

Never received the new pm. Parker sent me a message too and I never received that either. Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly. If there is room on the trailer to Togwotee with you guys I am in. Just fair warning i'm a first timer and may not be as good as anyone in the group.

Pros: Non smoker, easy going, doesn't complain, won't complain about money, safe/alert rider, respects the outdoors, fast learner, social drinker, showers at least daily, drug free, will try anything on a sled once if trained properly, has reliable sled, willing to rent every day if sled breaks.
Cons: Snores very loud from what my wife says. I don't believe her though (I've never heard anything)

Well I think I be out for Cooke. I head to Mexico the week after. Im pretty sure I could do the Tog trip. But if you have someone speak up before I can confirm. No big deal.

Probably going to do Togwotee in mid Feb sometime. We tried Crooked Creek last season and had a good time but I think Tog may win out just by a hair due to the experience of the guides.
Crooked Creek +'s
-Lots bigger cabins, we could all stay in one place
-Less people in fighting over good powder
-Easier to get sled rentals
-Guides good at putting you in the powder
Tog +'s
-Cabins have small kitchen
-Less trail riding to some good play spots
-Guides are better at putting you in technical spots, we were put in good powder at CC but I like being challenged too.
I may throw in a second trip but it will be a last minute deal depending how the MI winter is going.

I'm up for a togowotee bridge building expedition! I really don't have anything in the works. I would like to get my dad out west before he can't do it. Probably fly in and rent kind of trip, but I'm gonna need a trip on my terms also.
