Looks like there is still above freezing air trapped in the alpine. Anyone ride today with a report from up top?
Subpeak (2,340m)0°C 32°F
The Ripper (1,960m)-2°C 28°F
Village Base (512m)0°C 32°F
Actually there is a band of above freezing conditions in the alpine due to strong winds mixing warm air aloft with a lower freezing level of 1200-1300 meters. From Avalanche Canada "Strong Southwest winds in the alpine are forecast to push above freezing air into the 2000-2500 metre elevation...
Saw several rigs w big trailers that went by us while we were unloading at sale that seemed to be headed to keystone. Didn't see any logging trucks go by so hopefully they weren't running today and those guys didn't cause any problems....
Be aware that at the end of the day temps dropped considerably and there was a thick ice crust that had formed on top of all the good snow. It's all speculation at this point but there could be major crusty butt issues tomorrow with these cold temps....
I have consistently run my XM out of fuel in 48-52 miles breaking trail in deep pow. Fuel tank always burped and filled to the top, and it actually dies from running out. My oil also goes from the 3/4 mark to 1/4 mark on these days. No way can they cut the oil tank down in size unless its for...
How much do you think a 13 summit sp 154 with around 2,000 miles is worth? Sled is stock except for race werks clutch tower brace, grip n rip braces, and hood vent screens. Warranty is 1 yr bumper2bumper with 2 year engine coverage. Very good overall condition no dents or dings little black...
hmmm only 24cm of new makes it sound like most of the precip fell as rain even up high.....march is usually one of the best months but this year has been a bummer.
yep. I chased a coolant leak on mine for over 1,000 miles. First thing is to check that the cap on coolant bottle is sealed and on all the way. Also check to make sure the overflow hose from the bottle is in place and goes to the nipple that exits out near the right shock tower.
If those are...
Single biggest problem I have with the XM airbox is the stock intakes getting packed with snow and cutting off the airflow to the point that the sled bogs and wont get out of it own way. Wipe the intake screens clear and off we go again. So am I understanding correctly that there is no way (MAF)...
Well I did a little more looking around today and made a few observations regarding the coolant. Ran the motor for a bit with a white towel under the exhaust and didnt see any green so hopefully that means its not the head gasket. I think the neck on the coolant tank may be warped a little from...
First off love the new XM. 250 miles so far all in 3-4ft of fluffy snow and this thing just flat out rips. I pulled cord on the outside of my first belt early today at about 200 miles. I have noticed some pretty hot clutch and belt temps but in this deep of snow everyones clutches were...
