Had a huge snowstorm there the 3rd week of Sept. once.....Was up by Klone Peak on the dirt bike and couldn't even see the trail to get back down....I used to say the slickest thing on a dirt bike was a WET tree root......I now think it's a "snow covered tree root you can't see that screws U UP!!!!!

 

[powder Head]

I always wondered what that trail looked like in the Summer, no wonder it can be such an adventure in the Winter. Can't wait for the snow to fly............

 

[Sapling-Thrasher]

You beat me to it. Here are a few more shots.

I hope Summitseeker is praying for snow... If that isn't what he is doing I don't want to know......

Here is proof that MOB was there.... ask him how he liked the snow..

LMAO...never ridden the bike in the snow until then...I prefer dirt...practice needed...

Pretty sure there is a better vehicle for riding in the snow...

Very cool area...would love to go back next summer...

 

[MOB]

Almost forgot...it was great to meet Summitseeker and Mrs. Summitseeker!...hope your Tday went well...more in Canada this winter...

"Very cool area...would love to go back next summer..."

Why wait until Summer, that place is a lot of fun in the winter, hopefully you wouldn't have to push your sled like you do your bike.......................

That looks like a blast! 'Specially in nice weather. That rocky switchback looked a little hairy.

Order some ice racing screws...takes about an hour to install in all the knobs...pretty cool hanging a leg and throwing a roost of ice slivers!!

Plus, nobody will be able to hang with you unless they have them also!!

 

[graveler]

Is that going in from Maverick Saddle?

No its west of the Alder ridge trail, and once again Fordman was a no show, he has turned into a real Pus*y

Without screws in the knobbies.....

 

[paulharris]

this brings back memories of an icy nightmare dirtbike ride with hopeitsnowzalot lol. Good photos!

 

[Summitseeker]

Hey guys! Thanks for showing me around those trails on Sunday! I can't believe how amazing that area is for single track! I will definitely be coming back!

I wasn't really praying for snow in that picture. I was on my knees and exhausted from trying to get up over those ice covered rocks! LOL!

Our Turkey Day in the US was awesome! Two deep fried turkeys. You guys could have stayed but it would have been a late night for ya!
