A few from this AM. we got a few inches overnight and I took the Big Iron out. Had a ton of fun today and learned a lot about bike handling in fresh snow and narrow twisting trails. No falls but plenty of dabs! climbing is still easier on this bike, I started out on Emerald Mtn which is across from the resort (Mt Werner) and climbed 1000' in just over 2 miles (no one said I was fast though) then across some untracked singletrack climbing up and through twisty trees and the descent home. I have to work on bike handling but figured out that its better to stay off the front brake, and pedal easy to avoid spinouts. But, super fun!
