More Semi-Fat, but more of a grocery getter/commuter

20 degrees and winds up to 47 mph.

If only we had snow here so I could look that cool, great photo

Alex. The picture of Minnewanka looks great. Was it icy up there? I'm looking at doing it just after I finish work the day after Christmas.

That's some amazing scenery!

After a awhile there was nothing but me and some turkey tracks and some coyote tracks.

No not at all, just a little bit of fresh on top of well packed (at least near the trailhead). Just soft enough to make traction slightly interesting on the steep bits with stock BFLs.

dre10, nice pics! Hope to sneak out to Muir soon. Did a few laps at Crystal Ridge/Alpha yesterday.

[dre10dancer]

Was Alpha/Crystal in good shape? Muir was absolutely ideal. I tried Greenbush on Friday, but it was so deep and sof that I couldn't go 5 feet, even with Clown Shoes and a Nate/Bud combo. I imagine Greenbush is packed down by now.

Finally getting some time on my fatty!

Didn't get that much snow, so it's packed and very grippy. Made for very nice riding. Shame most of the Crystal trails are essentially gone due to the work going on.

Greenbush was way too soft to ride; but I had snowshoes as a backup, so it was a good day.

[landlocked]

It is a balmy 10 degrees today. 10 degrees feels awfully warm after a couple weeks of 20 below...

Keep the artsy photos coming!

The first time the Pugs touched snow. Bring on the blizzard!



First stop. Well, duh.

Met up with a few pals a couple days later.

My week old Moonlander in perfect winter weather, yay!



More photos here, in a slightly larger size so I won't post them here.

This was the first time I had to engage the 4 wheel drive (on my truck) all the way to the trail head. I couldn't have hoped for a better 1st snow ride. Virgin snow almost all the way around my usual loop. What a blast!

[elangley]

First ride on my new Christmas present!
