We left for the hills on the 17 of nov. We went to Valemount and rode Allan creek. The bottom of the trail was a bit rough for about 4 km then starts to get better. There was not too much base on top but we had almost 3 feet of fresh powder!! The riding was ok but still some rocks and trees. We rode down by the lake by the cabin, the banks were short but epic!!!
Knowing that the lake had thin ice we stayed close to the sides and just did a turn to go back up. When we were ready to leave I did my last turn to go back up and the rear of my 2011 nytro on its maiden voyage broke through the ice. I gunned it in hopes to get out but it was a fail. I then jumped off and got away to avoid falling in. I had a powderlites turbo rear mount under water that helped fill the entire engine with water
We then doubled down and called around to get help and Vinny from Alpine rentals came to save the day. Vinny rounded up a couple of guys to help get it out before it froze in. After almost 4 hours of bustin #*$&@ we had it out of the water and by the cabin. There was too much powder to get any further this late at night. THANK YOU ALPINE RENTALS!!!
The next day we rounded up 2 locals to help us get it to the trail to get it down. Thank you Curtis. At the end of day 2 we had the poor nytro down the trail in Valemount loaded and taken down to powderlites in Sicamous, long day!!
Day 3 was the magic work of the powderlites crew to get all ice out of seat witch weighed about 80 lbs frozen, fuel tank witch cooled and sucked it full of water because the over flow was under water, and the entire exhaust and intake system were all full of water and ice. we checked the turbo, leak down test to test valves and drained cylinders. After a whole day of sucking and blowing LOL we had it ready to run. It started quick and run good. Did 4 flushes of oil and had it ready to go for a ride to test it. THANK YOU POWDERLITES!!!!!!!
Day 4 Mitch from powderlites took us out to a place to test the nytro and run it hard to ensure all is working well and dry. It worked perfect!!! The boys took out the ripchargers to do some tuning!!! WOW!!!! I cant say anything else but WOW!!!!!! This thing is going to be the holy grail of light cheap reliable raw power........... I cant wait for full production because I think her sled may soon be an XP with a ripcharger!!!!
I think I may be the only guy to ride Valemount and Sicamous in the same trip. LOL!!!
Thanks again Alpine Rentals and Powderlites!!!!! It is people like this that make the sledding community one big family!!

Good to hear you got it running good. Most of the time they sink and that the end of it.

That's a crazy story. Sucks you sunk your new sled but at least it sounds as if it should be good to go again.
