Very good report, looks like its starting to set up a bit. Now maybe I can ride there. lol

Last week it wasn't riding, it was stucking...

It was one of those days that makes sledding worth doing...wow. The hardest part for me was getting back out of the hole I made jumping off my sled to send it up on the snow when I was about to get stuck. When you are eyeball with the rear bogey...the work begins! Bottomless glorious powder. XP country to be sure. Not kidding here...we were the first tracks up off Hood Hill and over and down into the deep (Horse Barn). Yes, a blown Apex might have gotten farther (one was there...never saw him) but who wants to wrestle with a pig in the deep? The stuck XP's were bad enough. Those tracks are ours only...the Three XPmegos . No one else came all day. Some sled.
I sure appreciate West Edge Sparks taking a little time from his addiction to sans the gloves and record a memorable day. It was a day that if I never got to ride again...I could live on those memories! The secret is to endure the rain...rain...rain...watch the temps...and as soon as the weatherman shows a sunball clear your calendar. My secret anyway.
