Late Season Riding

Got some late season snowmachining in this weekend. Beautiful drive down on Friday night, the sun was out and we saw several caribou and moose. Unfortunately the light on Satuday morning was very flat, so we did more driving with the truck than the snowmachines. We drove down to Paxson Lake, Fielding Lake and the Denali Highway....several more caribou and LOTS of ptarmigan!

The sun finally came out in the afternoon so we did some playing in the lowlands, unfortunately sunshine also equated to punchy snow. So after getting good and stuck (and unstuck) we headed back to the cabin for the evening. Denali Highway Cabins....great folks and a nice spot to call "home" for a couple nights.
I stepped off the trail and went up to my hip














Today (Sunday) the light was loads better so we made it up into the hills early in the morning. Great fun!
