Winter 2008

January 23, 2005 Goulds Powder Rip: (14 Photos)

14. The end of January finally saw our first major snowstorm of the season, the Shed-Headz Crew were ecstatic to get out in the fresh fallen powder.

13. French, Jimmy, Sooley and I got on the go early to check out the massive drifts in the Goulds. I rode my '97 Grand Touring 500 while Sooley piloted his new 1997 Skidoo Mach1. Sooley was the first to get stuck when he found snow drifted four feet deep up along one side of a field, his Mach1 is now affectionately referred as the Mach1-ton.

10. French joined us later in the day and promptly got his new Yamaha RX-warrior stuck sidehilling a massive drift the rest of us were jumping. Do you know what's heavier and way worse to get unstuck than a Mach1-ton? The new 4-stroke Yamaha's! lol

9. We were getting great air, busting cornices and sending lots of powder blowing back over the hoods of our sleds.

1. Sooley spent a fair bit of time falling off his machine but managed to not break anything up. I guess he'll become a better rider in time. LoL It was another great day in the country, it's certainly hard to have a bad day riding especially when there's lots of fresh snow!
