What an amazing trip. Big thanks to Jordan for the guiding and cabin setup! 10 minutes to the goods and unlimited pow. So much amazing footage and pictures it's hard to sort it all. Coming off 3 days of amazing powder riding, boondocking the trees, and climbing some gnar shit! This post is a teaser for some of the pics.. next post is screenshots from the vid. Check out the first segment of our webmovie for all the goods.. released at the end of the early season. We suggest heading to Colorado or Wyoming ASAP!!

BACKCOUNTRY SNOWBOARDING AND SNOWMOBILE GEAR: TOOLS FOR FINDING THE DEEP

Submitted by jp on Tue, 11/23/2010 - 20:30

It has been a long time since we've posted a gear list that we use daily for backcountry snowboarding and snowmobiling adventure/exploration. So, in addition to basic survival gear and avalache safety tools - this is what we carry!

STIHL

For early season trail clearing and deep exploration, it is key to have a chainsaw or two in the crew. We carry the MS 200 T and MS 192 TC by STIHL.

YAESU

Radio communication is a priority. We carry Yaesu VX-7R HT radios with freeband transmit modifications allowing us to communicate outside of normal ham bands for search and rescue. Also, this modification allows the HT radios to openly communicate with our Motorola Talkabout T5950 radios. FCC ham radio license is required for all but emergency communication.

ABS

Avalanche Airbag System. Jordan and I both ride with the Vario 30 ABS system at all times. Some new rumors of carbon fibre canisters and remote wireless partner triggering devices on the horizon.

OMNIHEAT

New technology from Columbia. These jackets are kick ass, I rock the Powder Bowl Parka and I haven't been cold yet. On the super cold days this is an essential piece of gear.

RACKS

If you aren't rolling with a Cheetah Factory Racing setup you are wasting your money and probably impacting your friends *production levels* in the backcountry. Buy it once!

GPS/SATELLITE

Delmore PN-40 loaded with current satellite imagery. SPOT satellite beacons on each team member and a GlobalStar Sat phone for the crew leader for the day.

Just a quick list of the essentials... some super techy, some not. Enjoy..

BACKCOUNTRY SNOWMOBILING: RABBIT EARS PASS NORTH - 11.17.2010

Submitted by jp on Wed, 11/17/2010 - 21:12

Today was stupid deep. Pretty much one of the top deepest days ever for November or any month for that matter. Reminds me of how Colorado winters used to be!

Long day... we almost didn't make it back to the truck. Jordan and I switched off breaking trail all day and we both got stuck many times. Haven't used my shovel snowmobiling in a long time!! Had some amazing pow and bookdocking, shot some vid and pictures. Radio communications for the win!! The 162" was having trouble today even, once this settles out it is gonna be sweet!
