I know there is a lot of frustration out there right now, but keep in mind, there really is still quite a bit of winter to go through. For folks that can only get out to ride between Christmas and New Years for one reason or another, my heart goes out to you. You have been skunked for many years.
For the rest of us, keep in mind, trails were in worse shape up this way last year at this time. Here is a shot I took New Years Eve 2010:
Backcountry did not look much better.
This is 9 days later!
Dave crawling from his sled to the trench my sled made.
Dave standing in my trench.
Dave with that glazed over look of amazement.
I does not happen to that extreme every year, but does change in a hurry up here. Just looking at the latest guidance, this coming Sunday and Monday could be doozies around here! Keep checking in!
