That's why the call me "Rev Masta Of Da Pines"! Anyone else up for pine-sap or Aspen bark on their snow bike!?!? 
Anyone else up for pine-sap or Aspen bark on their snow bike!?!? Wow. Mpull I can cure you of your tree attraction if you take your extra sled and let your friends "fallow" you through the trees. I have 2 sleds in the shop
($1500) from last week attempting this. I try to lead my friends as far away from the trees as possible. I am glad they don't know Mpull!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have wondered many times why people will track up the meadows and big hills and then leave the trees alone.....but.... Then when I carve a new path in the trees I think "I'm sure happy most of the others stick to the meadow!"
It takes a lot more skill to ride in the trees... Not only riding skill, but picking a good line and looking forward.
I think that when average riders do serious boondocking they get tired of pulling out sleds, so they stick to the meadows.
And from what I gather, there are certain mafia members you do not follow into the trees for various reasons.
1 being you may spend the night here, and 2, some may want to try 2 up with the sled parked

So I went riding today up Lake Creek and there where tracks everywhere! Nearly every hillside was almost packed. The meadows where well tracked.
I still had a incredible powder day.
I hit up the trees and no one had touched the snow. It was awesome! There are few things I enjoy more than climbing through the trees. Just picking a line as you climb. Having to stay on the throttle, but just make that turn right between those two big pines and bouncing off pillows. It was sick.
My question is why do more people not ride in the trees? I'm not complaining cause it always gives me good snow to play in, but seriously climbing those big wide open hillsides is boring and really quite easy.
climbing in the trees is simply bliss.
Sorry, I have not pictures. I am probably the worst when it comes to remembering to bring a camera let alone pull one out while I am having such a blast riding.
So what are your thoughts on the matter?
Its a progressive matter for the most part, After a big storm hits in Utah usually any area is great riding because of the powder, just after a storm people usually don't need to go hit the "secret" stashes because the snow along the groomed trail/open areas are just as good, once you get a weekend behind a storm then all known areas will be packed to a race track, this is when it is necessary to have a secret stash, and sometimes after a really long inversion it is time to get desperate and "hillhump" at tower
or drag race with Freak or some other desperate riding. Funny thing is some people take desperate measures no matter the snow conditions P.S. Not calling anyone out here just hav'n some fun

There is a place we go everyone shoots the meadow and never go in the trees and there is always awesome pow in the trees on the sides.
What is that? A Christmas tree farm?
