Colorado Backcountry: Northern Colorado - 11.24.2007

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:

The hard way.. a frozen creek:

Sleds 10k or so:

We made a few pow turns:

Colorado Backcountry: No Snow, Life Still OK? - 11.08.2007


Zen Waiter & Krazy Canadian of Thunderstuck

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 24x7 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!

"JP the snowboard freak turned mountain sled fanatic from Colorado chats with Zen, and invites all inquiries about riding the Peaks of Colorado. Music by Bob Dylan & more. 27 minutes. For info on details about riding in the mountains of Colorado- feel free to write to JP: jp@weknowsnow.com For reading on mountain info- see JP's Blog"

Colorado Backcountry: KT Nails 1st Cornice Drop of The Year - 10.26.2007

October is lacking hardcore on snow, but Kaleb still stomps the first couple cornice drops of the season! The m1000 is dialed and killing it..

Colorado Backcountry: New Season, New Weapon - 10.22.2007

A new season is almost here, time for a change and a late birthday present to myself. No more MTN Lite for me, picked up a 08 Poo Dragon 700 155 last weekend from the boys at Colorado Power Sports. Alex picked up a new Apex MTN 162 with rider forward setup and lefty for the steep and deep climbs.... should work out well. STE is getting the Bearcat Widetrack dialed up in Steamboat so all we need now are a couple of good storm cycles. This season is starting off pretty slow, it was nice too get out last Thursday and do some snowboarding, ended up taking the MTN Lite out on Friday with Kaleb.. So at least we've got a couple of days on snow.

Colorado Power Sports has a bunch of sweet deals on sleds at the moment, a couple of nice Dragon's and RMK's left. All the new Nytro's are out on the floor and I've heard of a couple reports that the MTX is the best 4 stroke yet. If your looking for a good deal on a machine stop by and talk to Greg... they also have some hold overs and good deals on last years demos sleds. If you go, check out the Boondockers turbo Apex putting out 200 horse.. red white and blue.

As far as the CFR goes it looks like it couldn't be easier to install on the new Dragon. Polaris is using a new tunnel design and the rack system uses T-bolts to slide into the tunnel and lock from the top. Should have it all installed by this weekend.

For 2008 Dave at CFR has some new products and improved rack designs, currently the online store is down while the new package deals are worked out and new pricing. Take a look below for the new 08 brochure:

Colorado Backcountry: STOP Closing Our Land: Pemberton, BC - 10.11.2007

Please print out and sign this petition, return via registered mail. This will ensure that your voice is heard. Far too often we get some wilderness nazi or some other boulder tree hugger type that wants to close down access to a certain areas. It is your time to fight back and help your fellow riders. Now, we are based in the states but we have many friends and contacts in Canada, who clued us in on these new proposed closures in British Columbia. This case in Canada seems to be set to the same tune as most of these proposals in the US, some looser skier or snowshoer thinks they deserve not to hear my snowmobile. Here are areas that are effected:

Face Mountain
Peterson Valley
Rhododendron
Upper Lillooet River
Pebble Glacier and North Creek
Noel Creek and Hope Creek
Upper Soo Valley
Callaghan Valley, Rainbow
Phelix Creek Elaho
Glendenning and Simms
Meager Valley

Please click here to download the petition and action document. Remember registered mail works best! More information here. PS. Go ski in a national park or wildreness area. Watch out for horse shit though!
