Set her up for 3-6K feet. The Hills for the most part is 5500-7000 ft.

Ditto, that's exactly what I set my sled up for when I went, worked great...ehem, well until the wiring harness went out and I had to rent a 570 fan mountain cat. Pretty fast sled from 0-15.

I'll definitely keep an eye out for the Edge.....If you see a Black 05 M6 141" and a 07 XF8 Orange that would be us!

I should be out there from the 7-10... there are quite a few good places out there if you get to roughlock falls talk to the mechanic guy there he knows some of the best places to go.... Big bowls that nobody has been in at all... Over in wyoming if you head out between 11-3 there are a few good areas of riding and if you go between 3 and 1 north of 3B and south of 3A in that area there is usally some good stuff that nobody gets to... can be a shitter trying to get in there at times but usually opens up awesome.... make sure to have a few maps with when they get wet they get to be junk... highlines are always good and before the big dropoff dart north and weave through the trees for a nice area there but you have to watch out for the cross cournty ski crap in there... i think the trail is off of 2 or something...

Fun times out there i am looking forward to it... should have my green F7 a black F7 and a Tony steward F7 and possibly a zr800 and another F7 green one... hopefully will have my new decals on there in time... yellow skulls...

Have a good time and leave some good stuff for us...

I saw a black M6 with the NIPS sticker on it in front of Trailshead on either Friday or Saturday.......was that your sled? It would've been around lunch time.

That would have been mine..... On Friday late afternoon I saw your sled sitting near the parking lot of Trailshead, but I didn't see anybody near it, so I didn't stop...

Ya we were inside waiting for some friends to show up. I saw your thread with the pictures. Looks like the M6 was ripping pretty good. I ran some heavier weights in mine this year and it worked alot better, clutches were only warm to the touch after doing some carving and climbing hills. Now if I could only figure out the mysterious bog that my sled has at 1/4 throttle in the Black Hills. glare.gif
