SNOWPEDS


( why you should use a board rack )


Sledding opens up a whole new world of opportunities as compared to hiking. Makes life a lot easier to get to spots but can be a major pain in our assholes: $$ for gas, $$ for oil, shredded belts, shattered windshields, totaled due to fire, totaled due to seizure, rolling down the hill, crashing into trees, etc.

Too bad sleds don't run on veggie oil. 91 is too expensive, what happened to $.99/gallon?

Trevor before...

Trevor's sled after.

Made it about 20 feet on the whips before they sank trying to get up this hill of waist deep. Guess that's what a 162 track is for.

First sunny day in a longggg time = major sunburn.

Alex laying it out.

After about 2 months of snow & no sun, there's sun & heat.

Being the first out is nice. Getting dumped on after seeing the skies like this is not.

Matty P catchin some air.

Cruised up to the spot afterwards one day.. the rail is somewhere there under a lot of feet of snow, the 15 foot tube is sticking up about 3 feet as you can see, & the 10 foot dead tree is nowhere in sight. Looks like we'll be up there for a while this spring/summer.
