Looks terrible.
Glad you're taking care of yourself.

Spring is here in force.

 

[StiHacka]

Likely one of the last snow rides here this season. Mushy snow turned a jump into a hump.

 

[canadmos]

Poached some freshly groomed nordic trails, for the big wide sweeping downs. Much fun.

 

[boostindoubles]

Was a nice evening to cut some trail. Can't even tell it snowed 2 inches day before yesterday.

 

[HardtailHack]

Seems the fun police have closed off bits I liked.

Inaugural ride on the mixed wheel Spitfire was impressive. Before next ride I'll need to crack the wheels open and add stans. After airing them up in the parking lot, both tires were basically flat by the end of an hour of riding.

I call this 'a MucOff moment '

Freaking outstanding trails today. Cold temps down to zero or slightly -F made for freaking amazing snow surface. Got up to about 27F on the way back home. Good vert and DH.

Good day in the backyard between storms.

Why is everything green and not snowy white? Does not compute.

I got a dusting at the house the other day, but luckily we have a giant ball of fire in the sky to take care of that bullshit.

 

[StiHacka]

Back to snowy white.

And so it begins .....

Trails falling apart in the daytime due to warm temps and sun (car read 48 today)...but ride where it's cold, when it's cold and it's no problem:

Sun angle, by April there'll light till 10pm. We melt out a lot faster than the Sierras for the same amount of snow.

Amount of sun...err, yeah, anyways there a shitload of sun here, except when there's not.

48 at the beginning of march seems high for your latitude. You're just now getting into peak dickbag helicopter shuttle season

but what I know, I live in the sunny beach state or some shit

Valdez is another world. They ski there into April and even May a bit. Higher in altitude things never melt out and are glaciated year round. But for the mountains that do melt out, where there's mtb trails and other stuff, that melts out way faster than mountain ranges down south. Turnagain Pass is a great example. The skiing is good there now, it will be for about another month and then it will just collapse...there'll be crazy glides with parts of the mountains sliding away and other shit as it warms, but the snow will go crazy fast. With 16hrs of sunlight getting to around 20 in the middle of summer, snow simply can't exist at the lower altitudes. It's just blasted away and Spring/early summer is our best weather. More rain in late summer.

I'm not talking about June I'm talking about right now


I know the day to day seasonal changes in length of daylight happen way faster up there. Just seems warm, that's all.

And so it begins .....

you have dirt that looks like that nearby right now?

man, I wish I had dirt that looks like that nearby right now

at this point I'm pretty sure dirt itself is a myth invented by satan just to keep us shoveling
