I have a trip booked to Togwotee Jan 14th - 18th, 2015! This will be my first ever mountain ride after mega thousands of kms ridden in my lifetime. I never even seen a real mountain before let alone ride on one. I ride modded mountain sleds, but that's as far as my mountain experience goes. I am a little freaked out, but looking forward to it. I hope there is enough snow there by that time.
Get beacons and make sure everyone in the group knows how to use them. I quit riding around home after going to the mtns for the first time
