First Snowbike Ride in (Relatively) Deep Pow -- Short Video

[BeeDoo]

Well, we finally got a dumping that we could call powder. This was the first attempt taking the snowbikes out for the deep fresh. Was about 24"-30" deep in most places, with some drifted areas much deeper. I wondered whether or not we'd be a stuck fest all day. In short, we weren't getting stuck, but the bikes don't hold much speed in the deep! We had a blast. Here's a couple minutes of the ride.
Throttle was sticking/stuck a few times.... oops. Better fix that!

I've never been one to run a tether, but I can see that on these, that may be a good idea?
Gunna be a lot easier to git tangled up in the track on these.

Interesting terrain in the top video. Must have some seriously active seismic action there?
Looks like the ground has shifted up about 25* in so little time that the trees have not even had a chance to acclimate!

Seems that I would have heard about something that momentous, but must be normal in your area to not make the news?

Dude at :49 definitely needs a tether

Dude needs to get his throttle fixed. Bikes almost always stall when you fall over.
