sno(w) cat serenade, march 13-16, 2020

We received an email from the sun valley inn stating they were cancelling some group events, was wondering if anyone has heard if the horse drawn sleigh ride and dinner were cancelled or not.
 
run from Baker Creek to Mt Fox, 30 miles round trip, about 3,000 feet elevation change, high into the back country of the Sawtooths...

beyond description, the photos do not do the breath taking beauty justice, absolutely fabulous back country...

See y’all Friday. We are loaded up heading out in the morning.

I remember some folks asking if there are spare seats. We will have some.

My wife Nancy and I are looking forward to meeting you all.

Fingers crossed to getting through the first two hours!

That is one cool Cat set up:weneedpic

And why aren't you here Mr. Sno-drifter?

Definitely the most swanky snowcat event of the year. The lodge has ducks and swans IMG_20200315_083701.jpg
 
Homeless folks set fire to 15,000 acres of timberland last summer. We got to participate. We are almost dun replanting, only 14,000 trees to go. Think I am on to it now, green side up, right? Also got some health issues to tend to. Besides, they don't let my kind into places like that.

Cancel your flights & just stay out there skiing. Schools are shut down here anyway so you may as well have more fun!
 
Great stewards of Sun Valley. We took only photos and left only memories!

So bummed I couldn't make it to the Sun Valley Serenade. Only had to come from Boise but could not get the damn worn axle shaft out to replace. Tried penetrating oil, lots of heat, big hammers, a porta-power and even yelling and throwing things. Gonna have to cut it out and rebuild, I guess. Any suggestions?

Looks like a magnificent time in a spectacular setting. You might as well just stay put and avoid the craziness in the rest of the world right now.

Here's an old shot from 2012 before I had my own cat. Spotted this one in Sun Valley and knew I had to have one someday.Sun Valley Tucker.jpg

If any of the snowtrac mafia could share a pict of our group photo we did on the hill with the operators in front I would appreciate it. CT
