Well this sucks.........

We've had several years of mild winters and hardly any snow to speak of. That has meant great winter riding..........but nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. WE have about 9" right now and it's still falling.I don't want to hear it from Never,Santiago or D.......

It looked like fuzz from a pillow for the 2 minutes it "snowed" at my house.

Today was 63 and sunny, tomorrow just a bit cooler.

Looks like it's time for a shuttle run. Freakin' shuttling in 9" of snow would be fun, I would think.

Snow riding is great until the freakin' hikers get out and "hoof print" the trail. IMO winter freeze'n'thaw is the best place for an XC dually. It's some rough dang trail. Fresh powder is a thing of beauty, but it doesn't stay fresh long.

Only a mild case of dandruff it only stuck on the ground for about 2 hours and made the ride to work fun. After that it was just wet
