Only in Jackson

can you have moose sharing the trailhead with you before you take off sledding. Note to all of those that think snowmobiles "disturb wildlife." The moose literally came right up to the idling sleds and were not spooked in the least bit. Pictures paint the picture........Dad.

Cold westbank sunrise warming the sleds up.

The ride up Mosquito Creek proved to be as much exploration as anything. A lot of the creeks have yet to fill in yet and have really steep/committed entrances and exits. Not to mention, running water. Here is my bud Drew, on his new, badass 12 RMk navigating across Mosquito Creek.

We do have snow, and it is a ton better in the backcountry than at the Village. This shot illustrates what happens when you have a bunch of fresh snow and little to no base underneath it to support it. This was Tim's trench he threw in sidehilling past me. Easily 3 feet deep. The technology on the new sleds are amazing!
