Early Feb Snowmobile update

Not many pics or movies on this one. It was just too deep (and a little cold) to take many pics or movies. We went up to the Flat tops North of Rifle. Stayed at Coulter Lake Lodge. Wonderful hospitality. The hosts Joe and Patty came down to our truck to meet us and haul our luggage (and lots of fuel) up the trail to the Ranch. Tuesday was about 42 miles (we had a late start). Sunny sky and deep snow. However, my M7 Arctic Cat was running pretty bad. Had a ton of water in the airbox after the intake came off. Sled ran better on Wed. but then Wed. it was snowing too hard for us to take our gloves off. We had a couple of major stucks....Me, Sludge and Sarah. 53 miles or so and the treasure was getting a freshly groomed trail on the way back.

We will be back there for sure.
