7 deep today up on the Mesa, snow was super good on the north aspects. Pretty boney everywhere else.. Tomorrow should be even better light and snow should settle a bit.
Went for a ride up on the Mesa after the last storm cycle, lots of natural avalanche activity. Almost got caught up in a small slide during a sidehill up to a saddle near Indian Point. Over the hood all day and super fun, lost my spot beacon so that kinda sucks. In the middle of the next storm cycle so the Mesa should be prime this weekend and into next week. Time to go slay it..

Great base and great snow. Finally, the winter we've all wanted for the past 2 years!
'14 Proclimb is a hoot to ride. I have been bending the BDX spindles very easily though. I think I've gone through 4 now. They could use a little beef up on them. The chassis can take a little more force.

One of the coldest rides ever. 3.5hrs to break in trail. Low snow down low, but pretty deep up top. Narrowed up the panels and boards on the proclimb. Working well...

Got out Saturday with Tom and Jason. Tom is new to the crew this season. He is a ripper. Especially for someone from Wisconsin ;) Great ride on the new '14 Proclimb. Still pretty thin everywhere though. Need snow bad. Spent about 15 hrs building it up with tons of different parts before the first ride. After owning a '12 proclimb, I knew I wanted to see the changes right away with this sled. BDX arms/spindles help the sled a ton with downhill turns along with the 36" ski stance now. Polaris gripper ski's are way better than stock or SLP PP's. The skid changes to the '14 made this thing not nose dive like the '12's. Power is incredible. It's a 153 and feels like I have the climbing power of my M8 162 with the 2.6 powerclaw. Tons more power than my '12 pro rmk with belt drive. Did snag a tree stump and snap my rear footboard stirrup. Was planning on making it skinny anyway, so Rasmussen Airframes and panel pull in here I come. Wanted to wait for the new BDX boards, but they still have no ETA for me.
