I got both versions of the HandUp cold weather gloves for Christmas. Toasty...
As for the ride today, this is as good as it gets, on snow.

There seems to be a lack of blue sky and snowy mountain vista, so I counter with this from today:
Nam?
Yep! Early ride to break in his new steed and try to recapture our glory days.
Things got a little too frisky during the second half of the ride, originally intended to be the chill old man ride. Go figure.
Good job! Trip to ER for stitching? I hope not.
What's that plastic protective thingy on your Fenix?
Just a silicone cover to keep the bezel nice when it constantly smacks shit. Works well.
This didn't

I may need a good 'Nam tour from some of ya'll one of these days. Been maybe 5-6 years since last there.
No pics from the midnight ride, but I think I got the first lap of the local loop again this year. Hit it again this afternoon, weather was too good not to
It won't work, those gloves will just get wet and cold too.
I tape toe-warmers to the handlebar.
Same here. Was there maybe 10 years ago and got a guided tour with @splat . It was really cool sessioning some of the features. My skillset has improve since then and I'm sure I could send more of it. That, and never got a chance to ride the fun side of Lynn.
Finally a day without rain but trails were a mess so we stuck mainly to the bigger gravel paths and old trails that do not get ridden. Checked out a new section of trail that looks to be much better than the path it will replace. New trail is routed higher up on a small ridge and will better utilize the elevation and a more interesting flow vs the old trail which is flat and boring and most likely just an old hiking trail. Its marked with pink flags. Post ride I enjoyed some of the spoils of RMSS courtesy of @Sandro
Rode some of the fun ""dh"" trails in the snow today, including one of the bushwacked loam steep ones. Wheel deep in powder on that one, didn't even need to use the brakes. In the summer your dragging ass on your back wheel. I think everyone ate shit today. 
One nordic skier got a little surly when we bumped into him crossing a ski trail, after taking a small portion of one earlier (single track there wasn't packed at all). All the other skiers were super nice and friendly, like us. But this one guy....wow.

Rode one of our DH trails today, complete with high berms and jumps, all packed down hard. Was a blast. It's right next to the city ski hill, so sometimes snowboarders come down it too.Rode some of the fun ""dh"" trails in the snow today, including one of the bushwacked loam steep ones.

I also explored some of the strastrugi I ran into yesterday when skiing, but I didn't access it quite right. If I did, I could have just kept going up the valley way up into the mountain, which would have been fun to come down. Otherwise, stuck to trails and got about 4K vert and out in -1°F to +11° for 4.5hrs.

Not a bad ride today, Perfect San Diego day!
I’m back! I’ll be putting up more videos as I make them. Usually try and ride and post a video weekly.
Those trails look pretty fun!
Thanks man. Lots of fun for sure, that’s one of my favorite trails out where I live.
