Disclaimer: I know I'm going into uncharted territory posting flatlander stuff on here but thought I'd test the waters! Go easy on us, mountain guys! It doesn't seem like there's much for pics/videos being posted on here lately - dissapointing! Maybe it's just that everybody is still out enjoying their epic snow conditions. Well not this guy. Not "epic" conditions anyways, far from it...hopefully some of you can still get a kick out of the pics/video.
We had a good old fashioned Manitoba blizzard roll through last weekend, leaving behind minimal snow (~5cm) which was dissapointing, but the winds really kicked up and made for some massive drifts. It was -45 celsius with the windchill but we still got a sweet day of riding under our belts. Six of us bundled up and headed out to pound some drifts. We had no problem staying warm as half the day was spent digging out stuck sleds. The video is here (~35mb, should stream with high speed). Or watch on youtube (crappier quality though).
