I've been riding dirt bikes and quads most my life but had never really tried sledding until late last season. A bunch of avid sledders from my work convinced me to rent a sled and go with them out to Valmount. I rented a 2006 Summit 800 151" and was blown away by how much fun mountain sledding is. As soon as I got home I bought the exact same type of sled that I rented although I ran out of season and haven't had a chance to ride it yet.
It was hard enough looking at my sled sitting in the garage all summer long, and now that fall is in the air I am chomping at the bit to get out and start honing my powder riding skills.
One thing that really intrigues me is the idea of taking my snowboard with me on my sled and finding some fresh back country lines to make some turns. After spending big money at ski resorts only to stand in long lift lines and get tracked out turns, I figure what better way to enjoy some sledding as well as some snowboarding.
Are any of you out there into snowboarding and do you have any recommendations on good places to go? Also what have you found is the most effective method for packing your board on your sled? ie. strapping the board to the sled or on your back?
If you have some suggestions please let me know.
Look forward to seein y'all at the top.
