Click on pictures to enlarge.This was the third and final day of riding. The clouds moved in overnight and dropped several inches of fresh snow along with increased winds. It is always a bit wilder in the mountains when the winds pick up and start moving the snow around. We had periods of heavy snow and then it would taper off.
We rode to an area that Jake and I had found on day one. It was up top, on one of the mountains with a good climb to access and good wind drifts to bust over.
Deep powder this day and some occasional snowing.
This was in an area that was challenging with a steep ravine and a creek in the middle. It took a little sawing to free Alex's sled from a tree.
This is good boonedocking, where we were weaving our way through the trees, up and down ravines, with a creek adding a challenge. A few good climbs and a few steep descents, this all makes a great day exploring untracked mountain powder.
In the middle of nowhere, just where we wanted to be. Making our own trails. GOOD TIMES!!We all made it back from this trip safe. Found new territory and returned to some areas that are always different from year to year with varying weather conditions. With fresh snow for two days before our arrival and bright sun the first 2 days, we were able to access some great areas, ride untracked powder and see what our surroundings looked like. The 3rd day of riding, with the new snow and the winds, started a new cycle of powder. The beauty of the mountains, it keeps drawing us back.
Thanks for checking out my adventures.
