My wife finally learns to carve....video

[Trxster]

Went to Blewitt Pass this weekend and had ideal conditions...about 4' of new base with about 2' of fresh top layer and sunshine. She had been trying and trying but no matter how many times I explained the "counter steering" she just wasn't feeling it. I finally jumped on her sled with her and rallied around for a bit while she sat in front and she could see the steering and balance and.........I think she is getting it. Watching her make beautiful turns in the sunshine was awesome....poetry in motion. Kind of low quality video but what the heck!

Ghad! I can't even get my wife on a sled. She would rather skin up, climb diamond head on Blewitt, and ski down. You sure had some great conditions. We battled 5 feet of new snow getting up to Brome Lodge for their avalanche clinic this past weekend. Even with all that new snow we couldn't purposefully trigger a slide.

We installed the "glass pack" under tunnel exhaust on my kids sled (Stock airbox). It seems to have a burble on fast acceleration from a stop. Top end seems fine, and if you accelerate gradually it was ok. Any suggestions?

How many hours of seat time do you think it took her to get it? She sure has the hang of it now. Congrats you two!

No, I got a burble when I went with the ECP filters and I have a louder burble with the glasspacks. Haven't notice it change at all by adjusting needles, air screw etc. I think it is just something I will live with.

We flatlanders usually end-up doing that to get out of a ditch we've fallen into while trying to save our wearbars LOL

You Mountain guys have it REAL good. Look at all that fresh, un-tracked POWDER
