We had just had 3 days of storminess & the mountains got some good snow .... along with the storms we had lots of high winds. So my buddy and I decided to “Go Track’in” !! :cheers2c:

At the elevation we had decided to ride (7200 ft), I was expecting 8 to maybe 12 inches of fresh snow ... WRONG !! ... on the ridges it wasn’t too bad ... but any low spot or East facing hill it was DEEP !! Had it coming up over my front bumper & my box was pushing it in some places.

My buddy told me I was piss’in him off !! Cause I was pretty much go’in any place I wanted ... and he was gett’in stuck !! :toetap05c: After the stuck in the video ... where we hurry up & dig him out, we decided to go back to the main road/trail. It was still blown over with soft snow, and we made a couple side detours ... After about the fourth time my buddy got stuck, he just stayed in my tracks. And then my belt let go. Guess I worked it too hard !! :dammit:

I also figured with the clutching I have & the smaller drive sprockets on my tracks, running in high was A-OK !!! ..... should have known better in this really deep & soft snow ... cause I think the belt just got to hot & let some of the inside gogs go .... DAMN IT !! :brickwall:

And even THAT wouldn’t have been too bad .... but three weeks ago, I took the spare belt & tools out of my box !! :aargh: Took 2 1/2 hours to tow me 3 miles ... Oh yeah, guess what’s go’in BACK into my box !!! :wasntme:

I also forgot to adjust the exposure on my helmet cam so the video is kinda washed out ... but I hope you enjoy it !! :cheer:

      . . .  minding my own business and a blow down tree mugged me.
      If Id been rolling fast id be in a pretty bad way.
      Got out of it with the first black eye Ive had in decades.

      Colorado elevation
      By NM_Quad
      Took two of the kids up camping a few weekends ago, near Alamosa, Colorado.  This is right about 11,000 ft.  This view is what makes Colorado ATVing a pleasure.

      Hey everyone, new guy from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. My older brother gave me his 1987 Suzuki LTF 230 and it needs a little work. I hope I can find the answers here.
