Powder King ski hill may not be able to keep it's reputation this season.
I've always wanted to do some turns there.

They are claiming 157cm on top (61"). For the last 4-5 years, they have not been getting the snow it should or has had.

Since I like to do some long distance riding, I like my cruise control!


I was getting a bit carried away with the whole process I guess. So I ended up with the following


95" bore cylinders
10.25 compression pistons
509 cams


Should be a significant enough increase in power and torque to help move my big *** down the road
For the cruising I think you'll do, I bet it works out fine, wider powerband I'd think with that cam and less downshifting.

Have fun.

Looks like the package made it to KY, always worry about shippngs anything that says small arm cartridges on it.

Nice Pics Chuck!

I've done the "Hurry up and Ride" before Christmas, cost me a chaincase and driveshaft on a sled one year, a arms, aftermarket a arms, shocks, spindles. Won't do it anymore. Tired of wrenching. LOL

I can recall years ago them having a 500cm base and steady 20cm dumps daily.

We have been camped at Silversands Lodge for 4 years. No way were we ever that close to those numbers. About 7 years ago, Sherri (friends that run the Silversands Lodge before it burned) said it snowed so much, it was higher than the house.
