We rode chappel on saturday but on sunday when the gauge in the truck said -34 we got the frick outta dodge. Was clear as a bell though. Just wondering if anyone braved the odds and rode sunday.

there was a few stumps here and there, but enough snow to ride the blocks. lots of big fresh drifts to hit! we never made it up to the alpine, but a few other guys went further up than us and we could hear them making some big pulls, so i would assume things are good up there.
some other guys rode grail/paradise...i wonder if they made it accross the creeks?

yeah but we think it was his heads....he had slp heads, but i think they are for lower elevations under 5000 feet. as soon as we gained elevation, the sled bogged out really bad...even after we dropped from 205 to 178 jetting

we went to alen creek on saturday, but on sunday we packed it in early and went home. when the budies M8T with c115 (i think) wouldn't start we thought it might be a little cold. we stopped at the cabin on the way out and it took about 30mins of pulling before he could get it to run. after when we got back to the motel we found out guys carry spare 87 in a spray bottle to get them race turbos to start in cold weather lol.
