HC does it again...

 The 38th annual World Championship Hillclimb was last weekend in Jackson.  You certainly dont have to be a sledder to appreciate the awesomeness of what these guys do and the event as a whole.  Its a huge money maker and fundraiser for Jackson and a really good time.  This year conditions were prime for fast times as it was cold and bulletproof.  

For the second year in a row, Kyle Tapio, riding on a Cat won it!  There is the "King of the King" riding off into the sunset after his winning run.  That sled easily has over 20k into it!

 The riders go straight up that suckah in just a little over a minute.  Full throttle.

 "Hill Help" scrambling to save a sled from certain death.

 I heard some stat the other day that outside of Cheyenne's Frontier Days, the Hillclimb is the largest outdoor gathering in Wyoming!

The HIllclimb in a nutshell!
