WOW, that is an unbelievealbe weak layer! Only 10 taps from the wrist and it slid! (if I remember correctly, danger is still high after 10 wrist taps, 10 elbaw taps and something less than 10 full arm taps).
Be safe everyone!

How would a Polaris Switchback Turbo do out there in deep snow? It's a 136" track....I bought it used so I don't know if it's the stock track or not. Lugs don't look too big.....inch or inch and a quarter maybe? I would love to try riding out there sometime but I bought with the intent of trail riding mostly.
Thanks!!

Thank you Kev for the update. To bad it wasn't better news. I will stick to the trees and practice my Burandt moves! (ya right). lol. I did clutch with the 10-60 weights instead of the 10-62. All packed, sled is at Ricks house, just got to get through a full day of work (grouting) and we will be out of here!!!
Also Doug, Joe, and I will practice a avy search just out of town. Maybe I can get Deak and his clan to participate also. Wife bought me new alkalines for the beacon, she must still love me??? I will see if Rob will film it for us.

Do they have search park set-up like Tog Pass? If they do, then maybe a short video to show folks how to use the search park there? Pretty self explanatory, but would be good to show ppl whom don't know how or what it is. Like this:

No, but Cook does have a beacon check station as you depart town.
-
We will practice a bit just past the Beacon Check station and maybe out to the warming hut. After all we are burying gas out there.
Skylar, I am having Rasberry Strudle delivered to the Portage truck stop from Krupps just for the trip. Don't get any ideas of locating my package. Well we are out of here in a few minutes!!!!

You know that people have been killed near Lulu Pass.... before you even get to the riding area. This slide happened 3 days after we left Cooke in December of 2007. Daisy Pass too but I'm sure you know that.

Drove right past there around 4 pm this afternoon. You didn't have any strudels either, I would have smelled them.
