Snowing Out West

Hey,

These are a few of some great backcountry videos I have checked out over the winter. These Dudes know their mountains. I have been following their backcountry adventurers over the last months.

We were in Northern Colorado back in Dec. 06 and in the Bozeman area of Montana over the New Years week. It was great to get the sleds and the snowboards out into the mountains. I have been snowboarding 2-3 times a week during Jan. & Feb. doing the Patrol gig. Northstar & I have been running hills and doing plyos at Highland. He has also been doing some insane winter mountain bike riding. Like 5-6 hour bike rides with temperatures in the -11 F degree range. Check out Northstar's web site www.jeffhallmountainbiking.com .

March will be here soon & I'll have 2 weeks of boondocking on the sled. The first trip will be in WY with the gang, with some serious powder poaching on the sleds. It looks like there will be 7 of us. T.E. will be shredding every snow flake he can reach with his new 900 RMK. I've got new wider powder skis on my 800 RMK & I raised the handlebars for a better stand-up position. Will be good times for sure!! This will be a good scouting trip for the boarding trip the 2nd week.

Second trip, Mt.Cat & I will be packing our new powder snowboards and the sleds to head out to CO and/or WY and/or MT, or where-ever we point the truck. If it's snowing - we's agoing there. The point of this trip will be to snowboard as much as we can in the backcountry. I've got some mountains that we scouted out late last year to return to & whatever I find from week 1. Definitely be bringing the snowshoes to explore further off the sleds.
