Wyoming & Colorado > Early Season Snowmobile Exploring (watch for the friggin hidden rocks)


First day, Sunday in the Snowy Mt. Range, Wyoming
This is more of the Snowies. The snow is starting to pile up, it snowed 3-5 feet the week before on top of what they already had. There are many exposed rocks and stumps, got'ta watch for bumps in the snow. But many trees and areas to explore. I saw one guy who had hit a rock, he was OK, but brand new sled got bent. I bounced off one myself, tossed me off the sled. No harm done.
Second day in Northern Colorado.
This was as far I could get on Monday in this area. It will be getting more snow. There were exposed creek bottoms, and sink holes. I found some hillsides to fool around on with the new dragon. Good powder snow, You just had to search for it.

The main goals of this trip:

Explore new areas, snowmobile trails.

Explore new ares for future backcountry sledboarding.

Ride at 4 different areas in 4 days of sledding.

Put some miles on the new Dragon.

Snowmobile in, snowboard and snowshoe back up.

Try out some new ideas for backcountry travel.

I'll post later to tell the tales of the trip. GOOD TIMES!!
