It was deep up at Buff Pass this weekend. Hit a tree on the Dragon, minor front end damage.. Took out the bumper, hood hinge and RH body panel and rivets.

Jordan and I got back north pretty far and almost had to hold up in a snow cave for the night. We had one last chance to rip out of this area as the sun was setting.. the 3 previous attempts to get out resulted in one or both of us getting stuck. We made it back to truck in the dark using the GPS after finding Buff Pass road.

Best day on snow ever, best boondocking and endless untracked powder.

Today was sick, almost Charlie Murphy level. Alex and I took the sleds way up north and checked out a new stash. Things weren’t looking too good on the way up, very little snow above treeline.. hopefully this storm cycle will have lower winds and lots more pow. We were pretty surprised to find a foot or more of powder on the roads down around 9500k.. covered most of the rocks but still tons of land mines out there. We played in the trees, I beached the Dragon into a huge sugar filled snow drift and got buried up to the bars. Took about 30 minutes of digging while Alex schralped all the remaining pow in sight. Looks like game on for winter, let it snow. See you in the backcountry.

We went sledding at a new spot. It was looking pretty bleak.. after a couple of access issues we made it up above 11k. Snow was surprisingly good and deep in spots, we found an area or two with 4ft or more already. The pics:

Sleds 10k or so:

We made a few pow turns:

It’s been a really slow start to the Colorado early season. If you could even call it a start. We’ve got the gear ready, new zones loaded in the GPS but no snow! Think snow, pray for snow, do a little snow dance! In the meantime, we’ve been out meeting new friends and trying to stay sane. For a good laugh, go listen to JP getting interview by the famous ZenWaiter. Zen lives snowmobiles 24×7 and has a sweet website and radio show / podcast that he updates at least weekly. Weknowsnow is proud to be a new sponsor of the ZenWaiter crew, go take some time to visit Jerry’s site and listen in on his kick ass snowmobiling show. Be a sponsor or supporter of a good thing!
