Sledneckertons
Gary here. I wanted to share a clip from last night on the snowmobile. It’s not me riding, it’s WasatchSpeedGoat Scott Mason…a good friend of ours up here in TL. I never thought I would own a snowmobile, but I’m glad I had one up here for this epic winter. If I didn’t own the sled, it would be like living on the beach with good surf and not owning a surf board.
Since we’re so far away from Alta now we don’t get over too often these days. A guy I know came up to me a few weeks ago and said, “Dude, where have you been all winter? It’s been sick!” I paused for a second, then responded “I’ve been 15 miles up in the Uintas in 15 feet of untracked POWDER, where have you been!?” Was the perfect comeback. So I did get my powder this winter one way or another 🙂 And there’s definitely something to be said about throwing around a 500lb machine, in deep snow, at 10,000′ above sea level. Oh and in my case, digging out the thing every 20 minutes! ..so I actually stayed in pretty good shape.

That looks like fun 🙂
OH MAN!!!! I want to get on one of those machines and just ride up in the mountains all day!!!!!
Dad taught us how to ride the snowmobiles when I was 10 years old. We used to go up to the Sinks in Logan Canyon and ride. Dad had 2 machines. It would be Dad, Mom, Gay and me and sometimes DeeAnn. We’d take the tubes and slide down the big hill and then go for a ride with Dad up in to the trees on the machines. I LOVE it! Haven’t been on one in years, but the last time drove one was the funnest day I have had in a very long time. I’m so jealous!

The last dance with good buddy Gary!
Going to miss riding with you Gary, less digging though!
