Revelstoke - The good ol' Days - Thread of Memories

Those would have been the bolt-on plastic paddles. Nobody misses those. Absolutely deadly if you found some ice in a corner.

We took a 2” paddle and cut them down to 1 5/8” for our phasers. When we would ride locally down the rivers they would roost 200’ out the back. Looked like a jet boat going down the river. Wouldn’t corner worth a chit on the river. lol

I remember being in the Quartz parking lot in 92ish. This huy has a full spread of 2" paddles bolted on. No stagger, no gaps. They must have been rubbing. He went out on the highway and rooted on it until they wore down enough lol

Your buddy Alek did he also have a few mountain max 600 & 700’s as rentals? Back in 2000 my powder extreme ate a set of reeds so I rented a MMax 700 for a couple days so not to ruin my trip. Loved the sled so I snow checked a 2001. We used to stay at the Smoky Bear campground

About 2002 there was a wedding up on the hill. The chopper brought the grandparents and the priest up. A few of my buddies dared me to streak by on my sled. I did, lol.

Im thinking that was the previous owner. Peaks lodge has changed hands a bunch of times.

Looking at these old pics makes me regret not taking more pictures over the years. My first ride on Boulder was December 2003, a lot of great memories.
