Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

Had a great ride up Boulder today hooking up with two guys at the cabin and heading into the Kirkup lakes for some super deep tree riding. The snow is epic for this time of year as it is still deep and dry unlike the pouring rain in the parking lot this morning. We got caught in a major snow storm so we headed out and by the time I got to the truck it looked like it was totaly clearing off, seems to always work that way. Lots of winter yet so ride it hard.

Thanks
Greg

I wasn't there but know one of the guys that got themselves in a pickle. I guess they got the sleds out the next day with the help of some Turbo Yammy guys but it was not an easy task. I'm guessing no dropping off to go exploring for those two anytime soon...

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

I was there, wasnt one of the ones that dropped down to begin with, but was one that went down the next day to help get them out, but it was a couple in my group. We did did end up riding them out, came up the drainage that pops up into superbowl by the fuel drop. A big thanks to all that helped us out, especially Mike from team Smokey Bear!! He showed us the way down and we went down with 4 sleds, 6 guys, and did ride them out eventually, wasnt easy but we did it!!!! The two guys that dropped down were pretty bagged out from they're hike out but ok. Again can't thank everyone enough that helped or tried to help!!!!!!

Good to hear that you guys didn't have to chopper them out. Also nice to hear that some guys stepped up and helped you guys out. Next time you see Neil tell him that Richard said I am glad he made the hike out without his heart exploding. Didn't sound like much fun.

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

Thanks. Glad to hear it... i would bet after getting out they slept like a rock that night and woke up sore. Im happy it turned out good for all and no one was hurt

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

Just got back from an EPIC trip, road frisby thursday-insane DEEP! Untouched everywhere, road boulder Friday-not as deep as frisby, but really good, got as far out as Turbo, went back to frisby on Saturday-soaked in for pretty much the entire day, still rode, Crazy Deep, rode half the day on Sunday at Frisby-couldn't even see the trams from the previous days, what a weekend, thank you mother nature, hope everyone had a great ride as well.

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

Ahh, the old walk of shame off Boulder Mountain. First time up back in 89' and my buddy, who told me he knew the mountain had us in a hole by some cliffs past Sugerbowl at 10am in the morning on 2 Mach ton's. After all day trying to get out we finally decided to hike it at 5pm and arrived safely at the west parking lot by the Peaks aroung 2am. Choppered out the next day. Sore and blistered for 3 days. Did you guys know that if you sign in at the cabin and don't make it down someone will come look for you? If only we knew....................Lol.
