Does this platform have adequate bracing to keep it from sliding downhill when it is covered with 3' of snow? I would guess that this section of trail is now in useable in the winter.

I like lattice boom truck cranes. When you see one of these big things happen fast.

My two favorite pieces of H.E. are a rock crusher and tree feller.

Someone is building ski jumps in NE. Cool we used to have hundreds.

Mr. Moose once you get onto big cranes a lot of the names of the parts are from sailboats. FYI :shock:

Looks like they knocked out the "S" by taming the terrain of lower Superstar. Should help make the trail easier to farm for snow keeping. My favorite trials are the wild ones that have not been smoothed out and had the water bars removed or smoothed out but they do not last long which is what we want for Superstar. I think the biggest oldest water bars are on lower Downdraft.

Now if they would only start building the Interconnect, I could start giving a sh*t. :roll:

It's pretty easy to access that terrain. Do we really need it "on the map".

Most places get tracked so quick now. I blame a certain person who moved to CO who decided he should show people the goods on his way out West.
