The 2010 season so far...

Went on a long splitboard tour in Indian Peaks Wilderness to Frosty. Snow conditions were variable at best. Lots of crust, ice layers and punchy in many areas.

Backcountry snowmobile Colorado todays footy... Luuuuuda what!!!



Went riding up north near the Wyo border, good times. One of the normal cornice drop spots was poppin' and of course we had to one-up each other and go big! Vids on the way...

Trill!!!!!

Jordan and I went for a short ride and it turned into a pow fest. Checked out a completely new area and found some goods. Put about 30 miles on Jordan's new 2010 m8 162 snopro.. sweet day and good break in start! Cooked lunch on some random lake using the whisper light. Chilli mac and beef. Found the secret to exploring and mapping new zones.. good brainstorming session.

"All this amazing terrain and you can really only see this by way of a snowmobile. It would take you years to do it on foot."
Check it... ABC News

Jordan's 800 is down with a blown rod bearing so we decided to take it easy and go explore a new zone we've been eyeing. The weather wasn't the best but we found tons of powder and deep snow. This new zone has great potential and we barely scratched the surface, lots of open old growth trees and untracked goodness...

Jordan, Jason and I broke into hidden bowl for the first time this season, snow was OK up top and pretty good in the trees. Bottomless sugar that wasn't really setup. After a couple of pulls up the north east face, we were greeted by two skiers on skins with a major daddy complex. They were so mad that we were already up there killin it, they insisted on exchanging words with us and quizing us regarding the avalanche conditions. I love how a few people feel like they own a certain area, so we blew them off and kept riding.

We found some wind lips that you had to highmark to, get straight and hit perfectly - sending you 40-50ft down the landing slope.. a nice cornice drop up at the 2nd lake.. sickest jumps yet! I guess it was my day to break down and pay dues... after landing my biggest hit off the wind lip, I almost got bucked hard and my knee broke my ignition key off inside the switch!! Off position. That made for an interesting on trail fix, which we finally got solved. I couldn't really turn my sled off the rest of the day or we would have to 'jump start' it again.. hah. I also blew a belt, and we had to change all four of the spark plugs on trail too.. junkshow!

Parts list this trip: 4 new plugs, new key and ignition switch, new belt, new windshield.
