No better time for Winter to arrive than on half day Friday. This gives me a little extra time to go out and play in the woods. It's always fun when its wet heavy snow and you have to duck, dodge, and dive around the snow-covered tree branches.

It's just a great area to play in and always fun riding when it's snowing.

I think an efat would be spectacular in the winter. I love my standard fatty but it's limited in over 4" of ungroomed snow.

The glaciers moved into Denver around Christmas and haven’t left since. This is one of those few years where winter doesn’t take a break here in Denver.
