It’s the 30th of May and the riding is some of the best all season (I can’t say winter, since we are nearly into summer). A snowy and cold April and May produced the best spring riding we’ve seen in several years. Though all good things must come to and (at least those that involve snow), the 2009-10 winter has been a great run.

One of the things which I really came to appreciate during the time I spent in Utah is how diligent they are in keeping track of local weather forecasts. Despite the fact that the snow is almost certain to be superb no matter where you ride, the kids are always mindful in their quest for the perfect powder day. In fact the only time I’ve seen them disagree is over a proposed riding destination. To his credit, Daniel is usually the one to follow whenever such discord arises..... Continue Reading this Post

We finally made it out for the first ride of the season. We still need a little more base, but conditions are improving quickly and more storms are in the forecast..... Continue Reading this Post
