got in 6 miles in a raging snowstorm. not quite a blizzard but close. temps in the teens. lots of stops for pics & slow going due to deep snow. wanted to try the SNETT from Douglas State Forest to the Airline in Thompson but stopped at the trailhead to the Tristate Marker. this was close to the Arline sign but not quite there. cudda used a fatbike for sure. When I 1st got there I saw 1 fatbike track. By time I left there were 2 more fatbike tracks

the studded tires worked. I let some air out of the tires which helped too. but with the inches piling up quickly I could tell this was better handled with a fatbike. a 6" wide track would have kept me from breaking thru one section which lead to losing control enough to dump the bike. I didn't fall but I let the bike go down

met a couple walking in the storm & they questioned my overall wisdom. there was no convincing them on my storm biking plan. the guy was all like: feh I have a better bike with wider tires so you're a fool. Not his words but I could tell

had a great time. the guys in the offroad side-by-side may have had a better time. they had big smiles on their faces
