Backcountry Gear: Phazer Moutain Lite and Cheetah Factory Racing

Submitted by jp on Tue, 09/26/2006 - 08:16

Cheetah Factory Racing Snowboard Rack InstallInstalling a CFR Snowboard Rack on a 2007 Yamaha Phazer Mountain Lite snowmobile requires a couple of slight modifications to the sled and also to the rack hardware. Below is a series of pictures and brief description of what AKD and I did to get the rack installed. CFR Racks are bomber and I'm really happy with the product, check them out at http://cheetahfactoryracing.com

Disclaimer: This requires you to drill into certain areas on your brand new sled. Double and triple check everything, you don't need to follow these directions 100% - They are meant to serve as a guide as to what we did to get things working. Your install should be pretty close. weknowsnow.com

This method doesn't need an air rivet gun for installation.

Step 1: Read, Understand CFR directions and assemble rack

Step 2: Remove red stock Phazer reflectors from tunnel

Step 3: Remove Phazer rear tunnel box

Step 4: Install snowboard in CFR Rack, place between tail binding or position which ever way works best.

Step 5: Place the metal J hook just behind the first rivet on the tunnel just under the Phazer rear tunnel box. (which you removed earlier)

Step 6: Mark metal J hook upper hole locations with Sharpie.

Step 7: Place CFR U bracket over recently removed reflector area. Mine mounted under the reflector holes almost flush with the tunnel support.

Step 8: Mark locations of lower CFR U bracket.

Colorado Update: Vail Resorts and Colorado Super Pass

Submitted by jp on Mon, 09/25/2006 - 18:52

I've been a Colorado Super Pass holder for the last five years and it's clearly time to buy if you haven't already. Access to five great mountains, tons of powder and amazing backcountry access gates. Last year was an amazing year with some of the deepest snow totals on record. Last weekend we saw huge snow in most mountain locations! Just a few reason why I renew my pass every year: Late/early season riding at Arapahoe Basin, Vail Bowls, Blue Sky Basin, Beaver Creek Trees, Night riding at Keystone, A51 Park, the vibe at the beach! Don't miss out, as prices go up every year soon. Think about it, you pay for a lift ticket 5-6 times and you have your pass paid for. Super Pass Online

Colorado Backcountry: September Cold Smoke & Blower Pow

Submitted by jp on Fri, 09/22/2006 - 19:29

What better way to end the summer with 18" of pow, cold smoke, and a dawn patrol! It's piling up in certain areas and there's more on the way. Grassy slopes and early season pow mix pretty well. Surprisingly, we didn't hit too much this morning. Goodbye summer, welcome Fall (or should I say winter)

September what??:

Ahhh, almost forgot what it feels like:

And almost forgot what it tastes like:
