วีดีโอ

I told you guys I didn’t notice for a couple minutes 😂

It’s pretty froze up now

I had fun! I won’t be going back tho!

To my knowledge you can access; squirrel, Grandview, and even Nelly Juan. I would not personally try without guys who have done it before.

Also gotta bring a lot of gas

@@nikpahno Grandview is fun run from whitter when the weather is good.

Trying my best to keep up with the daily grind!! 🙏🏼 stay tuned for Valdez this Thursday- weekend

@@vdzrussell DP in CCLB I go DP in SCLB

During spring time the wetter heavy snow gives you better traction because it’s all settled and more compacted, early and mid season wet heavy snow is no good, you sink into it and it compacts in front of you stopping you dead. It’s called mashed potatoes

@@MichaelGillen-if1nr with the cold coming in this week, will all the mashed potatoes end up being great base for the rest of the season?

We were fortunate because the wet snow allowed us to make trails to get around in. Powder woulda been rough, especially limping out Jeff’s rig.

@@BlitzAlaskaI think it will, there’s probably some magic combination of circumstances where it wouldn’t, but most likely made a great base when temps dropped

@@krisblake9393 yeah towards Nelchina looks like some steep and deep with trees. It looks to be quite a little run maybe 10 miles or so

@@aksas6428 time to go back this weekend

@@blood_rustTV it looks like it part of the top clamp but it actually just comes right off. Unscrew those torx and it will fall out.

@@blood_rustTV first thing I do is toss the rookie handle and replace with something soft to hit my face on 🤣🤣

@ Thanks i have 24 freeride turbo 146, come from moto background and know the feeling of slamming my chest/face into the bars

@@namelesskat4814 IMO This happens every 3-4 years, it’s not uncommon to see a winter like this. Everyone has their own opinion, Turnagain Pass didn’t even open I think it was 2014. We all get short memories after being spoiled a couple years in a row. This is my opinion. I don’t think G.W. exists.

​@@nikpahno Alright, thanks for the quick reply. I was just thinking temps seemed kinda warm for the latitude, but I guess that could be maritime climate or/and a bad season. I do think man-made G.W. might exist but it's massively overstated. Does Alaska have any access roads to get to higher elevations (4,000+ ft)? Or are you basically screwed if some warm air comes and melts the snow at lower elevations? Also I like your videos, It seems that there aren't many snowmobiling channels in Alaska that post a lot. maybe I havent looked enough

But there’s lots of stumps and rocks there if they ain’t got enough snow that’s the only downfall

@@rods907 that was my first time, lucky enough to only find the tips of alders!! Shaping up pretty good for another ride there right now!

@@TruckHouseLife 🤣🤣🤣 that is why we skipped the first dump in Eureka. I have heard enough horror stories to wait an extra storm.

Oh gosh here come the comments 🤣🤣

And I rode with a 9R and a 850 last season that blew up with less than 30 miles on them…they all have lemons guy😂

Remember the skidoo 850s when they came out? Haven’t heard of a denied warranty claim on an engine once yet. Most dealers have new engines in there in 2 days.

@ I don’t think I paid 25 grand for it to be in the shop. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️💯🎯🤔🤔 just my thought

🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

@@jacobdoornbos8022 we were so bummed!! Haha I wanted the chicken in the video

@@thenungzo look at that trackspeed!! 😅😅

NEXT UP “THE WHOLE KPEN GOES TO VALDEZ” ✊🏼🤣

@nikpahno hahahaha you know im already plannin it 😂

I actually do have a Munster bar setup, I just have not installed it yet. I don’t own a garage so I like to wait until I can poach my friends shop.

We are just dusting off the cobwebs still 😂

We ALL ABOUT the shenanigans

@@TruckHouseLife Hey, thanks for dropping in! Love your content my fellow Alaskan. Stay safe on those roads, God bless.

You can get black if you get the turbo

@@AnttiEira are you getting more or less speed from gearing down?

@ it builds up track speed faster, better throttle responsw. Theoretically top speed is lower, but we have the limiter at 125kmh anyways so it doesnt matter. It also doubles belt life

@@DaFcknPope I have heard of some sleds acting weird and showing full then showing low after running at first break in.

@nikpahno nah I had 4 coworkers who had to actually bring it back in amds, they had to pressure check them because they did in fsct not have any coolant. Amds claimed that it should come filled from factory but that it shouldn't of been missed by them either way and immediately had them bring it back in...overall not a big deal and they fixed it fast but always better to double check

Should have updated drivers as well

@ what’s going on with your drivers?

@nikpahno the 2025s have larger diameter teeth on the drivers to hopefully prevent track ratchet for the turbos. Sick sled dude, hopefully our winter turns around and we get some snow.

@@f.j.b6542 you are correct 👍

Yes this is lost lake coming up from the firehouse side

@@kodyjohnson6294 I did but they took it down because of the music track bro
