October 3rd. First ride of the season!

 Was great up top in Northern Colorado yesterday with Andy.  28" of fresh snow.  Was melting quick cause it was hot as hell up there at 11000ft.  The new 18 Cat with the mods kicks ass.  Best Cat yet by far.  I switched back and forth with my turbo axys all day, and the Cat is just easier on your body.  The trail in was total crap.  Down trees everywhere.  And the ride out was even worse since we took a different way.  Lesson learned.  Probably cut 10 trees that were down that we couldn't get around.  Without a sabercut 2way hand chainsaw, we'd still be up there.  Ended up being the hardest day of our lives.  7.5 hrs of butt kicking, but it was worth it in the end to finally make some great pow turns.  Only damage was a bent tie rod on the cat.
