Haha nice. That was exactly what i first day on a mountain sled was like a few years ago. Ya can't give up though or you will never learn. Ride it like ya stole it. Personal experience says he's gonna be seriously sore in a couple days though!!
Rode Allan to super bowl and never saw a decent flake of snow or the 20 machines ahead of us. So we gave up knowing where they were, loaded up and went to Chappell. By the time we got there there was guys loading up with the same complaints we had at Allan. Granted my 3yrs of valemount knowledge...
Tracked out is an understatement. Sure there is untouched out there but we exhausted all our knowledge and found nothing worth driving for. Just means we gotta go on more trips and find some more honey holes I guess.
