So I am sitting here at the computer, typing questions, lining out clinic formats, editing some footage for some up coming projects, and dreaming of snow. I have on my HMK outfit as I am doing all this, either its really cold down here in my office, or I am overly excited about this coming season, if the snow would start to fall! Here in the Tahoe area, we have received very little precipt over the past few months. One snow storm in October that dropped 2 feet at 8,000ft but melted about a week later. Then a few flurries, a 6 inch storm about 4 weeks ago which made the mtn biking trails ice rinks. Its been bitter cold, keeping most of the little amount of snow in the shadows and north facing aspects, but Im not sure if that’s good or not. There is definitely not enough to go ride yet which is starting to be a bummer, but when I look at last year how could we expect anything like that. It snowed more than anyone alive has ever seen. Over 800 inches of snow fall in some parts of the sierra making it one of 8 to 10 winters ever on record. It was also from November starting with an 8 foot storm then another 8 footer in December, and so on…… Ending up with over 3 ft falling in June. Wow……. This winter might be starting a few weeks later than last, but I still think its going to be off the hook. New sleds, new parts, gear and plans are happening every day and the stoke to ride is building. Soon we will all be roosting pow with our crews, traveling around in search for that one turn, that one face shot, one hit, drop or just that one moment out in the backcountry that makes you love this sport and what you get to do out there. So check out another video, read that mag again and get fired up! Cauz this season is going to rock!
Ride On.
