We had an AWESOME trip, the day run with the club members and guests. It was quite an event filled day, Lance and I rode clean-up for the day and found plenty of opportunities to assist others. First we had to pull a hunter back up on the rode after he slid his nose off and couldn't get back up on his slicks, next Lance had to go to work (Medic style after Jimmy watched the hunter eject and get rolled over, and finally we gave Jimmy a tug to get him back on plane after getting tipsy at Funny Rocks.
Neither of us remember sliding backwards on Aardvark, although we definitely slid sideways just before it...
After heading back to camp for a quick dinner Irish (Mike) and Lance decided it would be fun to see Raven's roost at night, with yours truly at the helm, we got back to camp around 10:30 and called it a night, i think Lance has some video of our night run coming. after our extra hour of sleep this morning we ran back up to the Roost via the MC trail, with a nice 4+ inches of snow, but I'll defer to Lance's story telling to fill you in on that.
I'm sharing raw videos I shot with my iPhone, of Elephant Dung Hill, and a couple of others of the guys at Funny Rocks, it was pretty slickery, so I didn't get out as often to take video fearing somebody catch me wrong side up/down on camera... Pics will follow shortly.
