Wyoming / Shak Gang / Day 3

Ghost Rider
One of the Gang got bucked off at the top and could only watch as the 2 pine trees jumped out in front of his sled. The little tree went first but big buddy tree stood his ground. The group was able to repair the damage. After all that excitement we all gathered for a mountain lunch and basked in the 30 degrees and sunshine...GOOD TIMES!!

Another sunny mild day in the mountains. We explored an area that I saw for the first time 6 years ago on my first trip with the Shak Gang. That year I was one of 3 rookies on rented sleds. I had brought my snowboard and even snowboarded in this area that year. We have been back on these mountains 1 or 2 times since. It is a hard place to get into when it is storming, it requires alot of sidehilling and climbing to access. It is well worth it. The untouched powder was incredible and the sights were great. It was a good day in the mountains. We had 1 incident that involved a sled but the rider was not in the saddle at the time and so everybody was OK and with a little backcountry repair the sled was restored to order with a few battle wounds.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

I will be back with the sleds and snowboards in the future. We were able to climb to the top of several mountains and the snow boarding will be great.

Later...
