Posting by the suggestion of another pilot that was at Crow on skies and heard some bitching that "I could make it here why go to 6B6".
Well I have done it! OOOHHHH crap now what?
I landed on a snowmobile trail that had exposed ground, all good and then I got off the edge with the wheels, about half way on the roll out. The snow was about 8" deep, you might think that is no problem for 31" ABW tires, NO it was not.
As you can see the results were not good and now the rebuild is on. I have landed in much deeper powder and NON-Marble snow with no issues but the "marble" soft stuff from the warm day did me in, got off to the side and it just PULLED me in, (just like the slush on the road that pulls your car into the ditch) you say I can just add power and mussel out. It went so fast there was not time to do a thing, from the distance I hit the edge to stopped was 50 ft.
So you out there that were bitching about Crow Island and the SKIES only by Bill, be warned that getting just a little bit off course can have really BAD results.
Snow looks to be 4" but was 8" and STICKY.
