our son and i went for a rip yesterday, kind of a lst minute thing, was going wasn't going finally my decision maker, a.k.a. Snow Monkey, let us go here are a few pics to show you all what it was like. great day nice and warm little to warm +8 when we got backt o the truck. little wind, had about 3ft in most everywhere with about 2" of fresh since last time we were out, but that gave for some wicked azzed tree riding and crazy drifts.
sorry about the pic qaulity as some dummy left his camera in the truck. i will not divulge into who that was but i will say that i was kinda pissed off at myself for that one.

We were out at Goose Tower yesterday. It was super windy, but the riding was good. It must have been snowing up there when it was raining here. Lots of drifting and windblown areas, but the trees were good times.
