Snow cond. for May

[trailthumper]

there are a bunch of us from Drumheller are wondering how the conditions are like there we are thinking of a trip in may and just checking conditions for Quarts, Silent, Gorman etc.
Thank you

Rode Silent on Friday, stageing around km22, trail in was in good shape. Pretty rough through the trees after the switchbacks.

Good Picture Xtremegriz, That looks like the same spot we were at last year in silvermines. Was Kent there as well. Later

 

[xtremegriz]

No Kent couldn't make it. One piece of advice......bring sunblock!!!, my forehead and neck are prtty tender. We saw lots of wildlife too. A Grizzly on the traintracks east of Field, then some Elk at Field and these critters grazing at the Golden Rim. Also met Extreme Velocity at the Rim. He was on his way to Revy to Film Cody Borchers and a couple others. Hopefully he posts some pics when he gets back.

Looks like some good conditions! nice pics,
I was out with Extreme Velocity (thomas), Randy Swenson, and the thunderstruck crew in Revy on Sunday, and the conditions were the same plus 15 and sun, it will be a great spring for several weeks yet. I will post some pics later and I think Thomas is going to put a short vid of a nice 2 man chute climb gone bad, I have pics but the vid would be much better. lets just say even a $30000 Yamaha wont fly! well without a HELI. lol
pics to come ,

Can You Say

Actualy the Heli was for a DOO as sad is that is to say, Another engine done!

No video as of yet, but heres the pics!
2 guys (no names) unless they want to claim there fame, pulled a nice chute almost side by side until one hit a small rock and lost speed and got stuck at the top of the chute so the second had to turn out to miss him, well he turned left instead of right, the left side had a nice sized cliff to death cookies below so he jumped and Apex Turbo did a roll and wammo, all in all the sled drove out and everyone is safe, fun to watch and sorry about the repairs to come but thats why we play HARD!

 

[NosRX1]

Ouch!!!!!! IS the turbo ok I am in the market for one....lol

 

[JoHNI_T]

the sled will need new gauges, steering post, bars, cooler, tunnel, but the TURBO is still working, he rode out!

 

[JoHNI_T]

oh ya and a seat, the seat blew apart from landing upside down!

 

[NosRX1]

Now that sucks, I guess the snow is not quite as soft as it was a month ago!!

 

[Summitric]

Awesome Pics, Johni.... Bet That Was Friggin' Awesome To Witness... Glad All Is Okay Though..... I Guess You Can Say We Saw It First On Snowandmud.com... That Will Be In The Videos For Sure!!!

 

[JoHNI_T]

It was a good day! Yes you will see that crash in 3 vids next year, Thunder struck, Boost 3 and of course SLED HEADS 4 if Thomas throws it in there.
I will post some more pics in just a bit of some other succesful chutes that Randy pulled. but the Camera does not do it justice these things are strait VERT and if ya dont have boost ya dont get up em! Randy is Running just over 400 Horse power out of his Apex! WOW thats more than a HEMI!
