Snowmobiling 2019 – Ulen Adventures

Day 3 – Trailered the sleds to the Big Sky Trail system for Day 3. Snowing pretty hard in the morning – took us an hour to get through the trailhead drifts and get parked… 🙁 – But once we were there – wow! The snow was great! Visibility- not so much, had to head back early to not get too lost…

Here is a video Chuck took entering Tepee Basin

Many of you know that Chuck scrunched his sled on a stump last month – as you can see – he is very happy that it is all fixed.

Hey – I was here, too – at least my helmet and sled!

Hey – even I got stuck – but no one took pictures! Great day!

Well, it’s our fifth annual trip to West Yellowstone to snowmobile with long time friends. This year we are staying in Island Park, ID (about 20 minutes outside of West Yellowstone, MT). The condos are a little less luxurious, but the snowmobile trails are a LOT less bumpy, and it’s faster to ride to some of the good riding areas.

Day 1 – We are riding with longtime friends: Jamie and Todd from Wisconsin and Dan and his son, Ethan, from Utah.

Trail near Big Springs. Lots of snow, not much visibility

Here is the group contemplating which direction to head next

Day 2 – Feb 4 2019.

Day 2 the visibility was sometimes better, sometimes worse… But I was able to snap a few more photos… We stayed in the Island Park area – rode in white out conditions over Two Top Mountain in the morning and explored the Sawtell area to the West of the highway in the afternoon. Since you can’t tell who is who here is a quick photo summary:
