    Excellent Weekend

    The Upper Peninsula treated me well. We spent Friday at Evolution sled park. A foot of fresh powder and we were the only ones allowed access. I hit my first ramp, raced my first cross country track, and learned a lot about being a pilot... and my Rev's capabilities. I managed to keep the sled and myself in one piece. Saturday we turned to boondocking near Rockland in search of gnarly terrain. We certainly found it. Poor Mr Apps busted up his sled something fierce. Entire front end was bent up after he lost a ski rubber and caught a ski tip. Lesson learned and no one was hurt. I would estimate damages to be between $6-800.
    On our last ride for Saturday my sled let out a huge mushroom cloud of burnt antifreeze. I need to figure out my head situation. Luckily a slow morning due to hangovers made it so that I only missed about four hours of riding. Weather throughout the weekend was amazing. I only wore my jacket for a brief period and didn't even get any insulated gloves on! Now I need to fix my sled and save up for another trip! :-)

    Enjoy the pics.

    Looks like you had fun! I'm glad you were able to get up for a trip, you deserve it after all the work you've put into your sled!

    Great shots! Is there even enough snow around home to ride? We got a little last night but it's getting thin.
