Placer River

[Winter Project]

Deeeeeeeeeep!

Rode Placer today. Weather wasn't ideal, but could've been worse. Snow was DEEEEEEP! My rev had no problem, but the three yamaha's i was with were buried a good portion of the day. Here are some pics:

First stop, you'll notice how deep it is, i'm(hmk jacket) 6'4 and was standing straight up..

My buddy found a creek.

On the way home... a little stop on the river.

Powder at Placer

Good day, deep snow at Placer. Some sunshine would have pushed it up the scale towards EPIC.

Sorry Cory, nothing but stuck pics for you today.

Placer was DEEP. We finished the trail the rest of the way up the front side to squirrel flats and it was great. Wish I'd have brought more gas.

If you guys going south forget your gear (helemt, boots, whatever) don't go home. Glacier City Snowmobile Tours will rent you gear. I got all the way to Placer and realized I didn't have my boots. GCST rented me a set of bunny boots for the day...huge thanks to them.

It was good to finally meet ya, hope we can ride together again soon.

If you are upright on a bar stool ~ are you really passed out?

besides, there's no proof of him passed out right
