Departure from the norm

Marco has been making his living skiing since most of us were just trying to figure out where the 1990's went! So, what better way to do something other than cramming your feet in really uncomfortable ski racing boots 200 days a season than to mix it up and go sleddin!!!
Chels, Marco, and I went out to Togwotee Pass last week and had a blast sharing my sled and getting some of the goods (foot of fresh and bluebird)


This is why Togwotee is such a great place to ride from pro's to those that have never been on a sled before. It is comprised of endless meadows to play around on.


I did shuttle laps between some meadows a few miles past the truck. I would piggy back with Chels and Marco getting farther and farther away trying to find untracked meadows for them to play around in.


Hey ski racer guy, while a full facial helmet went out of style in ski racing in the 1980's, it is warranted and needed in the sport of snowmobiling!


Marco getting both feet on his inside rail and ripping some pow.


Chels, with the shot of the day, clearly making the boys look bad!


Marco and me doubling up and charging.


"yea, all you have to do is lean and give er some throttle"


Marco getting chased by a snow ghost.


Once Marco's professional ski career comes to a close, my prediction is that he will get hopelessly addicted to snowmobiling. Here he is ripping after only a couple of times on a sled.




Happy customer, but still in need of a full facial helmet!
