2019 Colorado Snowcat Jamboree

[GlacierSean]

You don't have to have skiiers, just stay on the road if it's a hybrid route. The idea is that people can ski without the risk of a snowmobile collision. Other areas are just for hike and ski people. Some areas are just used by snowmobiles but the hike and ski people are allowed anywhere. No drag required in Colorado.

 

[Aaron Tucker]

so route 8,9 are a motorized trail for the purpose of getting in there to ski?

So I would have to be carrying skis or boards to be on that route with a snowmobile?

I guess it is like the Wisconsin and Michigan interpretation of grooming snow.... as long as you are pulling something for the purpose......

I asked if a 2x4 was a groomer, officer propson stated " are you pulling it for the purpose of grooming?"

Yes.

well then your grooming he stated.

nothing like Wisconsin and Michigan this is the Rocky mountains

I'm just being funny not trying to be mean.

The only places you cant snowmobile or snowcat are the areas that are for skiing /snowboarding. This is to conserve the powder for skiers/snowboarders. The last thing you want is to being skiing glorious titty deep powder and hit a bomb hole from a snowcat lol. Also "if you lucky enough to find one" stay away from the 10 mountain huts as they are privately owned. The huts are available for rent tho. all the trails are already groomed by western states snowcats and they would prefer you leave the grooming to them. There are hundreds of miles of tails leading through some of the best snowcat terrain in the country here at Vail.

Colorado state registration for the year is $32
Vail pass is $6 a day per person or $40 for a season pass , kids are free
Montezuma is free

please feel free to ask more questions.

p.s. I am currently working on a modified version of the rally sticker for 2019. you guys think 50 will be enough?

Dude, I thought you dropped using the forums because of Kristi teasing. Very glad to see you back. As everyone will agree, Kristi’s are still sort of like a unicorn of sorts. So the fact that you have one running is very excellent and always good to see!

no no, nothing like that. i know its all in good fun. if anything im the one stirring up the hornets nest with the snowtrac guys. still willing to loose a dragrace to a snowtrac if i ever run into one on the snow. i forgot my password and had a hell of a time getting ahold of someone who could fix it. luckily doc got me all sorted out and i can login and post again. glad to be back!

 

[Pontoon Princess]

hey KT3 man, good to see ya back and FYI, a KT3 hold it's own with snow tracs, the snow trac guys will never admit too it, but true, keep on trackin'

it is a race that needs to happen for sure. I'm a gamblin' man, (i mean.. . I do operate a kristi ) i'll even put up a bottle of whiskey if that's what it takes to get a snowtrac out of storage, lined up with me at camp hale. any takers??

remember it is not about speed, but rather, how capable the machine is and the skill of the operator. KT3 is right yup there and the side hilling is an advantage

If, is speed your game, how FAST do you want to GO. it is all about money then and the Kristi snow plane is the way to go and it side hills also...but be careful if a torpedo challenges you.

 

[JimVT]

I turn down a ride in a torpedo ,I seen the driver fly up the hill.

Some photos from our most recent catskiing trip at Vail Pass. The Colorado cat crew was able to accesses what we like to call the big cupcakes(First tracks this year). This is a huge cliff band of boulders. About 10 years ago we built a whole terrain park in this area with several log jibs.

Don't forget your Skis and snowboards.

 

[KT3survivor]

that zone looks incredible! this was not the right year to blow my ACL but atleast i can drive a cat for all of you who still can shave some frosting off of those cupcakes! thanks for sharing aaron. been going up there for years and I never knew a place like that existed at camp hale

 

[Track Addict]

I was born in the wrong part of the country but I’m Colorado on the inside of that counts?

More jealousy. I’ll be reaching out next week to you as we prepare to head west.

 

[GMoose]

Can someone tell me if the "2PV-Non-Resident Snowmobile Permit" from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife site is the correct sticker I need to get for an out-of-state user in Colorado for the Snowcat Jamboree. If this is not it can you direct me to the correct site/tag.
