Snowboarding in the Backcountry
Avalanche pit.
Mt. Cat, Snoweasel & a dog called Gunnar take on WY and CO the week of 3-18-07. We find mild temps & a solid snowpack. We dig a avy pit & explore 4 different mountain locations during the week. We even got into some rain as we left the truck on Wed. 3000 ft higher we finally got our fresh snow. Overall a great 2 weeks of sledding & snowboarding in the mountains. This made 4 trips out west this season! GOOD TIMES!!
I transition right into the mountain bike season with the first USA National race in Pheonix on April 1,2007. I'll be busy managing , wrenching & travel planning for Pro XC Racer J. Hall of Salsa Cycles. I'll keep ya posted.

March to the Snowfields!

With March comes the first of 2 treks to the Rocky Mountains. The snowpack was deep enough and the weather took a turn for the warm. So that gave us the chance to reach some isolated areas, as the sleds rode on top of the snow for the most part.
With 7 of us out here we spent our 3 days boondocking & exploring some new & old haunts. It was warm enough for a good old brat roast over the fire.
