Oh word.

Nice photos Mark. We spend last Sunday in Happy Valley and Hidden Valley. Actually that looks like the same cornice we were hucking in Hidden Valley. Did you guys hit the sweeeeet roller jump just a hundred yards or so west from that cornice?

Indeed, April does not dissapoint. I took the wife yesterday. From the visitors center we headed east to Leon/Weir and Johnson. 3 hours later we cruised back to the truck and desided to head West towards Lands End.....believe it or not, that was the best decesion we could have made. The snow was MUCH, MUCH better the further South and West that we went. Awesome.

The trees were caked with Rime Ice.

Pretty sweet!

My wife blasting a cornice! Yeah!

800 Square Miles of awesome.

more pics to come...

Sad to say...

I may be done for the season. I'm busy/traveling for the next 3 weekends, and that puts us in May. Holding out hope for a late spring blizzard around the first weekend of May. Already counting the days till next December...It was a great season for me though, got just over 1200 miles, the most I've ever logged in a season!

What the pics don't show is the drop into the trees. Once you droppped over the lip you just slid and hoped you could make it into a small opening in the trees. We had a great day pulling sick lines up treed faces that we only looked at most of the season. We had about a foot to 18" of fresh on a solid base to play with. Bluebird day and only saw 2 other riders all day.

Capped off the weekend with some awesome singletrak dirtbiking at Rabbit Valley today. Ray finally put some scratches on his new KTM but rode the loop like he had been riding for years. The boys got talent.

Nice work fellas.

Looks like good times! I spent the weekend in California - a far cry from deep snow. Can't ride this weekend, but maybe next. Hoping to get one more in.

Corp, There's still some riding left, I need another good day before I put the Doo up. You in?
The real story of yesterday was that Charlie's wife Kathrine rode the Zion Curtain at Rabbitt Valley. What a Trooper, I was impressed.
Once Ray figured out that the throttle was located under his right hand he was cleaning everything. Great job Ray!!!!!!!!! I do believe he might be addicted to the dirt now as well as the the snow.
Cheers Mark

You guys will have to tell me the best way to get there from Marble... This weekend will proabably be the last if this warm weather continues... It was 60+ here in Marble today at 8K ft...
