Houghton Mi snowmobiling, Jan 8-10

[Pete]

I think Sam and I are going to head up and do some snowmobiling for a couple days, anyone else interested?  Chris, Erik, Dave, Ben?

[Ben]

Ive already got something going on that weekend, is Sam going to rent a sled or are u borrowing one for her? They have a base up there yet?

[Pete]

unless others go, she'll probably just ride double with me.  There is lot's of snow up there already, Chris and I went in December last year and it was awesome.

there is at least 30 inches of snow everywhere we would ride up there.

Did you get a new sled?

This was last Sat.....    Not even 5 days before this it was 40 Deg. and green grass...  It snowed over 3ft in less than a week and if you catch it before it settles... holy crap!

Andy's new Nitro RTX.... Feels like a tank in the garage... Feels like its 100lbs less than my Rev when you ride it.   Torque is insane.   Bone stock and it puts the skis 2ft off the ground no problem with no studs.  Very cool sled!   I got it stuck and couldn't even budge it though.  Starting to learn a few good tricks on how to get them out easier too.  We buried them left and right constantly.  The Rev was pinned the entire time to not loose momentum and if you stopped on anything but your own track, you were stuck almost all the time.  Zach  ended up hitting a stump with his left lower a-arm on his Dragon 800 and bent everything on the left side.

The 8-10  i might go...  Just depends on the wallet.   The weekend after that Ill be up there from Wed. night through the weekend if anyone wants to go.   Me, Andy and the rest of the guys it sounds like.   They all like to party more than ride but Andy, Zach and myself usually rip it up all day. 

[Pete]

holy shit there is a lot of snow up there!

My offer still stands Chris.  I'll pay for fuel to get up there (since I will anyways) all you need is food and sled gas + portion of a room.  I just want to ride and not bar hop all day.

No Jer, I didn't get a new sled.

[CBerg]

Yea, I'll have to see how the next 2 weeks go as far as work and then I'll know.   

[Pete]

the weather is looking pretty good for this weekend.  

Friday: 15 F 90% chance of snow
Sat: 15 F 60% chance of snow
Sun: 21 F and sunny

I'm heading to Breckenridge, Colorado tonight and staying for a week.  Saturday if the slopes are packed I might rent a sled and go on a tour; here is one place I found: http://www.breckenridgesnowmobiling.com/ 

I'm afraid I will like it too much though!

[Pete]

do it
