Went into Eagles today and it was fawkin awesome! A foot to 2 feet of new snow from last night, the whole place to our selves(Micku's were in there too, never saw them)
Best day pf the year so far! Got a ton of pics today and a little Vid of me riding the burn. People were having issues coming up the trail due to ice and creeks so I was
an hour ahead of everyone, so decided to rip up the burn. Got to watch for logs as it needs some more snow, but still super fun!

Here's a couple pics, post more and the vid later. Just got back to Revy...

One minor issue I have with the T3 is the scratchers,, Broke one off today. They may work fine on groomed trails, but not in the whoops and creeks.

The Freeride never needed scatchers,, this thing does... Gonna get some cable scratchers, should work better I hope.

Bolt in the inner skis corners, throws snow like a mofo

Or ice storms


Didn't see the stock t3 ones throw up that much snow

They worked ok,, but they broke off,,, as in its not on my sled and they are some where on the trail now. Think cable scratchers will be the way to go

I told my dealer when I picked up sled that they wouldn't last long. The cable scratchers I seen didn't work worth a ****

Yeah the cable scratchers probably dont put down too much pressure,, But I need something that isn't going to just break off after a week:confused:

Ice storm or like I said, 2 3 inch long 3/8 bolts with holes drilled for quick pins

Back inside corner of ski, drop bolt on trail , take bolt out or pin it up once up

Best scratcher there is



Also ice storm now sells scratchers that mount to the ski and does the same

Mabe u can get sponsored and have the ski ones and rail ones...

I've got the guys number if ya need, to talk directly to him

my T3 likes to overheat on trails.. I think it needs more scratchers .. I had the ice storms on my 13 .. they sucked ! they don't reverse on anything other than a flat icy trail and they never stayed put on my rails so they kept breaking.... I know they started offering hooks for them later.. that would probably fix the problem

might just get a pair of BRP tunnel mount scratchers

I've had good luck with my ice storms. You still have to be careful with them but they won't pretzel the first time you back up like regular spring scratchers.

Cables suck not enough pressure on a 2.5 Camo. I'm sure they would not even touch on a 3 inch.

Well just when you think there is no way you could top the day before,,, well Holy cow! Went to Keystone today, with the same crew as yesterday.
Sunny skies,smooth trail, there was tracks in there but NO ONE had made it past the saddle yet. So we busted in(your welcome) worked out pretty
good for us though, as thats where 90% of the riding is on Keystone. 3feet of shampagne Pow! First ones to the Cabin again this season,
No guts no glory I guess;)

Took lots pics again and Rob took lots too, heres a few Ill post more this weekend when I get some time. Been a hectic week in Revy.
