Rabbit Ears First Day O' POW
Spend the weekend up at Rabbit Ears and got to test a lot of stuff out.
First. It was EXTREMELY cold out. Negative temps. For some reason on Friday night I felt like the camper wasn't insulated enough and I had a bad nights sleep. Sat night was even colder but the camper was toasty warm. Go figure
Second. The high-jacker snowmobile jack that I carry at PowerSports Xchange. This morning I went on a short ride by myself. Found a nice POW field and starting doing some carving POW turns. In the middle of a turn, in 3 ft of POW, my sled just sunk another 2 feet. IT was buried to the windshield. In a normal circumstance this could have led to MAJOR issues. Without the High-Jacker there was no way I would have ever gotten out. Huge believer now. That could have turned out to be a cary situation.
Third. The new sled is awesome in POW. It's miles better than my old sled. Very happy with my purchase.
The POW was deep and endless. Just needed to be careful for the rocks.
Salway getting used to his new sled.
As you can see I am not the only crazy person that winter camps

Changes to my snowmobile
A-Basin Parking Lot
Spent the night at the A-Basin upper parking lot. There was a slight dusting of snow but nothing to get excited about. It was pretty warm last week so no snowmobiling this weekend. Skied Brek today. Hung out at my sisters ski house and now back home praying for snow.
Woke up this morining to some beutiful scenery.

The Ski Rack for my brand spankin new YAMAHA RS Vector Mtn.
Last weekend I took a day trip up to Steamboat to deliver a friends sled and pick up my new sled from Action Motor Sports. As you know I love to use the sled to access the backcountry and I didn't want to shell out a ton of money for a snowmobile ski rack. Last year on my Mountain Max (which i sold) I bought a ski rack from CFR. It worked well but was expensive and it wasn't as secure as I would have liked. On Sunday my friend Jamie used ATV Gun racks for his sled. We got the idea from a guy at Rabbit Ears last season. His set up is great and very secure. You can't beat it for under $30.
Well the RS Vector and most 4-Stroke sleds are not the best to mount ski racks because the exhaust shoots out over the tunnel. So here is what I came up with. SOrry I took these pics at night.
I bought the same gun rack as Jamie. It think it was $24.99 from Sportsmens wharehouse. The straps cost $2 bucks each I believe.
Since the Exhaust shoots out the back I needed to do something so it didn't melt my skis. I plan on doing a custom exhaust in the future but $$ is tight right now. I went to home depot and did this.
I have no idea if it will be restricting but it's worth the try
I know it looks funny and I hope it works. The best part is that everything comes off pretty quickly. the only think that is left over is a small piece on the tunnell handle.
I read online that some guys went out this week near Aspen. I can't wait.

I've been moving into my new place for the past 2 weeks. Dad is in town while Mom is taking a trip in China. The new place is awesome and in a great location. I have my own garage to store all my toys and I love it.
Yesterday I went mountain biking with Jamie and my dad. On the return i was going a little fast and my front tire susspension compressed and the front tire slid out from underneath me. I've never fallen at these speeds before and it really shook me up. I actually got dizzy and almost fainted.

Great weekend trip to Telluride for the Blues festival. Left friday after work and spent the night in Grand Junction. Next day off to Telluride for lots of drinking.
The night in Grand Junction was intense and another good test for the camper. The storm that came through was crazy. Winds were wild and the rain was hard.
The night in Telluride was cold as hell. We had to leave the festival a little early because it was so cold. Went to a bar had a few more drinks and headed to the camper. The heater made it real nice to sleep in.

It was time to test out the new camper. Jeff, My Sis, Pippa, Tiger, Chewy, Jesse and I went to a campground on Green Mountain Res outside of Silverthorne CO. We left Friday and got there at night. We had a little trouble getting a fire to start but it finally lit up. Before I could finish my first beer it started raining. Into the camper we go and it rains all night. Sucks that it is raining but glad we had a spacious camper to relax in. Woke up Sat morning, still raining, and headed to Keystone. Since it was still raining we figured we would cook breakfast there. It finally cleared up a little and we got one run in until it started raining again. Back into the camper. Then in started hailing, retreated for safety in the camper. Finally cleared up again and we took one more run and it started to rain again. We packed up and headed home.
As you can see it wasn't the best weekend for camping but we all realized that if not for the camper we all would have been miserable.

OK So i sold my old camper and got a new one.
Here she is. She fits my truck much better than the old Palomino. I will probably use some ridid foam insulation on the floor for a little more clearance but also some floor insulation for winter camping.
I'll be testing her out this weekend in Steamboat.
When I get some free time I will be putting new stickers on the camper to match the color of my truck better.
