Vail Colorado Snow cat Jamboree 2017

Here are a couple of my favorite shots from today. It was wonderful getting to hang out with all of you. Such a blast. I was with the BR 100 LS (my friend's) but you may have seen my post about my own burnt up snowcat (bombi) rebuild/ customization on here. With any luck I would love to tag along to Zuma on Sunday if anyone has room.

Shot with a 50mp camera, extremely downsized. Can order prints to 24x36 with out enlarging. Let me know if interested. Thanks so much for putting this together.

very picturesque this morning with collegiate peaks in the distance. I parked the low budget kristi next to the high dollar prinoth for scale factor. :mrgreen:



 
Great time was had by all! And my first sighting of a Kristi 'in the wild' so to speak. At over 11,000 feet too!

cross post for the Nice Colorado Rides

Those sure are a bunch of great looking Cats! We hope to see many of them in McCall next year. I know now I'll have to put a lot more Turtle Wax on mine. :clap::clap::clap:
 
Sorry I missed, hanging out in a recliner with my busted ankle. It would be great if someone could match up those cats with their owner's User Names. I know who some of them belong to, but not all.
 
awesome video! and thanks for sharing. it will be hard to follow all that drone footage but i should have something together in a few days.
 
Had a great time at the jamboree. Really want to say thanks to Aaron for putting this together. The group of people was great and the best part. Getting to see all of the snowcats was awesome. The cat and snowmobile skiing was super fun. Great job everyone with the pictures and videos. Can't wait for next year, hopefully this continues to grow every year.
 
:smile:

The 1st annual Colorado Snowcat Jamboree went off with out a hitch .
I would like to thank all the Snowcat owners that made it out . It was great to spend time with each and everyone of you.

I am already looking forward to next year .


I'll have more pics posted soon

Looks like fun..sorry I missed it. For any interested parties I'm headed up to the Grand Mesa on Sunday heading for Flowing Park Reservoir and Indian Point. Let me know if you want to join me..the more the merrier!!
 
I like the look of the Spryte with the single wind shield. Is that a resto-mod? What's the story on that?
 
I want to thank everyone involved with organizing the Vail Jamboree! I had SUCH a great time!!
I especially want to thank Aaron, KT3survivor and everyone who gave me a ride in their cat and shared their insights on snowcatting!
Thanks to manbearpig I now know the rush a jet fighter pilot feels when they surpass the speed of sound!!!
Let's start scheming and preparing to make the next one even better! (And, when I have my own KT3 there to participate with)
 
It was great meeting you Ken, and it was good to have some detailed kristi conversation with another owner, especially someone who knows aircooled engines much better than I. looking forward to next year for sure. my only regret was never putting it in 1st gear low and going for that high mark on the hill behind the lunch area :drive2:
 
Did some folks make it up to Montezuma on Sunday?

yes the Tucker family and the Nottingham family made it out and to the top of deer creek, Montezuma .We skied the couloirs and jumped the snowmobiles . we hill climbed the cats all the way to the top . was the steepest hill ive climbed all year and the first time I was ever able to make it to the top
