Oddly enough we took a snow ride about 3 weeks ago and the guy leading the pack found a shed antler from a moose. I wish I had found it. I would have put it on one of my helmets.

 

Or on yout front rack like bull horns on the hood of a Cadi

 

It was just sitting there in the middle of the trail in the snow. We had all missed it on the way to a lake we were going out to. He saw it on the way back. Just one side though. Somewhere there's a moose with only one antler.

 

The pics and narrative in this thread are incredible. Mag quality pics for sure! Thank you for taking the time to share your very special place with us!

 

thanks for the compliment, it's nice to hear

 

Here are a couple of pictures of the Paiute ATV Trail from the snow cat that we groom the snowmobile trails with. This is another tough job I have.


I keep the cat here at the resort parked under our gas stations canopy (its closed during the winter) and I can keep the oil heaters plugged in.

I went from a Honda to Polaris and now to Bombardier.


You use the plow on the front to get thru the drifts and level the trail and the tiller on the back is actually what "grooms" the trails.


This is the trail head for Paiute ATV Trail 01 out of Koosharem.


The trail is partially covered by a small snow drift.

Here's a really short video of my boss attacking the drift.
He does not like driving the snow cat but being my first year I need a few trips with a trainer.


This is looking back at the drift we just cleaned up. Looks like Bob got a little to close too the pole.

 

So frickin' cool!

 

we had very little snow this year and only got out a couple of times

I'm looking forward to next year - it is a lot of fun.

 

You have to cross private property (ours) to get to this trail and then it is gated. Two private individuals, the US Forest Service and a game warden with the Forest Service have keys to the locks on the gate.

It is an awesome trail and few have ever been here.
