Brief ride report - went to Jones Pass yesterday, first ride out on my new-to-me sled, new-to-me game. Was fun. Met up with Kaleb/Backcountryislife, his better half & a friend of his (awful with names, sorry).
The road is rideable from the parking lot (although a lot melted between 10am and ~2pm, at least down low). Above treeline, the wind has scoured snow off the road in spots, but there were some filled in areas.
Attached are a couple of pictures, hopefully give an idea of coverage/lack thereof & the airborne antics of Kaleb & friends. I consider myself REALLY lucky to have hooked up with these riders for my first ride - super nice, very helpful, and I learned a LOT.
Iain (including the right way to dig a sled out - doh!)
One mile up, from the little lot on the right:
Different aspect:
Stuck, halfway through extraction:
Hill at about treeline - the road takes a sharp left here and goes SW to Jones Pass proper:
Kaleb's better half on her way up:
