My brother's sign to greet fellow sledders
Mike McMahon, Jason Fuller, and I went out to Ouray, Co to visit my brother and Ravi. While there, we went sledding on Camp Bird Mine Road. We got to the bottom of the run just before noon. We were the first ones there, and lit the fire and set up my brother's sign quickly. It was not long before the rest of the sledders began to show up though. Within an hour, almost 20 more people had arrived. We enjoyed a full afternoon before the sun set 6 hours later.
I got to try two new things on this day, the Moutain Boy Slalom Steerable Sled and towing up on a disk. I also used Ravi's airboard again. The airboard is always fun, despite the touchier steering (same goes for the Slalom). My favorite thing was still screaming down the run on my brother's Mountain Boy Classic Flyer...that and towing. Below are some pics of the day.
