My buddy Mike and me went for a little New Year's ride today. The weather was nice initially, sun shine & 40 degrees. It turned dark and gray later, though. That's why some of the later pictures look like ***. (Wrong mode, 1600 ISO, etc).
Water was about 35-40, hard to say exactly.

First pic is my buddy Mike. He broke his eye socket last weekend trying stabs.





Mike backed his rig and four-place trailer down the ramp knowing fully well that he might have some trouble pulling it back out. :clown:
Time to shovel that ramp.












Had to get that snow out from the tires, though.
Break out the torch!





My three guys - Ben, Sam, Josh.








And finally, we did ride! Here's some pics.


























































Before anyone else says it: Gawd, my "rolls" suck ***.

Pics of my carnage.

Happened while I was riding today. All of a sudden I didn't go anywhere.
I thought I had stripped the splines.
When I unbolted the pump, it just about smashed my face in. At that point I realized something was off.

Midlake Crisis

Great thread! Getting me motivated to get out in the garage and fix my own ski.

Thanks for the comments guys....Looks like matt is going to be riding my "stock" skis for a while!! ha ha I got three running so it is all good.

The torch/snow shovels is essential to us riding. As we got 3-4 inches of snow and 1/4 - 1/8 inch of freezing rain. The ramp was a skating rink. I literally slid into the water. Thought i was going to have to leave the suv there overnight. With some shoveling and torching she pulled out the 4 skis no problem.

Good times, Heading back out today!!

I thought about riding on New Year's but I sat on my azz hungover all day, maybe next year...

If you come across an extra driveshaft I'll be needing one too!!

What'd you do to yours?
