back in riding season!
Dropping in, April 13th.
Ok, we’re into the next riding season! The sleds are in storage for the summer months, and the dirtbikes are out… and I’m riding every day again.
So, a quick update after my absence for the past couple weeks…
First of all, we did get a final ride in on the 13th, thanks to a late spring snow storm. Getting there was rough, but conditions in the highcountry were awesome – surprisingly powdery for so late in the season. Not so good for climbing or jumping, but good for playing, and dropping – and I got in some pretty big drops (although I say not big enough!).
After that, we had several more small snow storms that did nothing but keep things muddy. In the past week though, it’s dried up quite a bit, and we’re now riding dirtbikes every day. It’s still very limited by snow banks across the roads and trails, but as of today I made it a mile and a half up FS Road 520. We can’t go on big rides yet, but at least we’re riding again, and not confined by mud and patchy snow…
So that’s a quick update. It’s still quiet here, but it will be picking up soon…

Love the helmet camera. Not so sure about the 70 ft drop. Looks like you were having more snow today, so you may have to fire up the machines one last time.

Thanks! pretty fun, i say…
It tried to snow a little bit today, but no accumulation.. it didn’t even get it muddy. But we are due for a little more snow over the next couple of days, so we’ll see…
