Wednesday

Got out for a while on Wednesday, it was fun. Not bad at all for April, I got stuck, and shelbywyo had a soft landing.

I posted those photos with my phone, not sure why the sequence is sideways. oh well.

Staying at old corral. It was snowing most of the day up top. It was bumper deep in the trees in a lot of places. The open areas are wind blown and settled from the sun. It was pretty good snow for April. Worth the drive for one last ride IMO.

The ride yesterday was one of the best ones of the year i think. Snowed a foot on saturday night on top of decent snow. Found spots yesterday that had about 18" of fluff from the last couple storms on top of a decent base. Definetly had to work yesterday to go where you wanted. Could do a little carving on the trail as we were about the first ones down the highway past lake marie. Some of the best riding i have done in april so far in my short riding career. If this next storm puts down some i would think this weekend would be pretty darn good. Will look through my pictures and gopro maybe today and see if i got anything good.
