Summit ride 20 Dec 09

#1 Post by dirtyrice »

Went to summit this past Sunday and had a pretty good ride. The only downside is that my backup sled that my buddy was riding on was too underpowered and I didnt jet it properly for the elevation so it couldn't make it through the pass to the tit. We wound up heading back toward the monument and playing in the flats in the powder. Snow near the monument was right at 3ft and if you look around finding 4 ft wasn't hard. Even got some drift areas that were 6ft deep. Definitely got to scratch the itch for riding powder finally. Now I just want to go back with someone who has a capable sled and go tear that place up!

The pass wasn't too bad. The rocks were covered for the most part but you could see them pokin through. If you take your time a and dont fly up the hill you can avoid the rocks easily. Snow depths quickly got towards 5ft in the pass and were getting better as we climbed. I will go again this weekend most likely if people are up for a trip.

All in all, great ride. Finally got my powder fix
