What Are You Doing This Winter?

Post by JohnSKepler » Sun Dec 31, 2023 6:37 pm

It's been plenty cold but our atmospheric river is somewhere else right now. But that doesn't mean I have to sit around and do nothing! There's plenty of ways to scout out the hiking/skiing trails I haven't been to. I'm better at this than I am at skiing but you don't want to wind up on ice on a 500+ lb bike. That snow is just a little thin. A few inches, I'll still see some grass and bushes, and it'll be deep enough to ski.

Heading out for day 21 on the slopes. Not great skiing, but it's been nice and sunny - and I now have some rock skis!
