I been out riding for about an hour in this fresh snow. It aint that cold, normally I end up looking like the Marshmellow man with all the clothes I have on. But I just threw on some long john pants and shirt, my riding pants(severely patched up cargo khakis), a tshirt, a thick coat, my fox beanie and I didnt even put on my helmet, I put on my paintball mask and a bandana around my neck. My mask covers my whole face alot better, my nose and mouth arent left open.
I dont know what it is, but just riding around the trails and tracks in just 2nd gear is fun in the snow. At one point I finally got stuck and I got behind to push and work the throttle and it took off with me still on it. Hahaha, I was draggin my feet in the snow just laughing. I had my MX boots on so my feet were toasty even in the snow. Going through snowmen in mid 2nd gear is fun too. Especially when you take down about 2 or 3 in a row.
I dont know what it is, but snow is just wicked to ride in. But Im glad I dont have it around all the time.

 

I've been riding around it in too...well what's left. All the fresh powdery snow is pretty much slush now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]. Can't say Ive been plowing through any snowmen lately, but lol sounds pretty fun I'll have to try it someday. I think climbing steep snwo covered hills is pretty fun too though. And like you, I'm glad to have it, and also glad it's not like the people up north who get feet of it..

 

Around here, we don't get snow down in the valleys, but we do get a fair amount in the local mountains (which go up to around 12,000'). Well, we had a big storm this week, and it is snowing up there this morining. So, I invited a bunch of people on a snow ride tomorrow. Well, everybody has flaked. What a bunch of sissies! They are all worried about it being to wet or cold or whatever. Guess it will just be me and the kids out there having fun!

 

I went for about 10 miles in the snow yesterday. There were a lot of coyote tracks up on top of the mountain. My new riding partner met me at the bottom of the mountain and went the whole 10 miles with me.

He's a dog that just showed up behind me one day and chased me off the mountain. (I thought he was chasing me.) Now 2 times out of 3 he meets me at the bottom and stays with me where ever I go. Then when we reach the bottom we go our separate ways. He lives at a near by farm. I always picture him scratching at the door as I start up the mountain. The farm is about another mile up the road from where I start up the mountain. He always seems to figure out that I'm on my way. Darn good riding partner and I don't even have to feed him.

 

That dog sounds like he is the moderator of that mountain.

 

He sure is.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I sure hope you don't shun, befriend riding partner.

 

How could you shun something with a face like that? (refer to author icon)

 

I just came in from riding in the Southen California snow! (sounds funny). I'm still kicking it off my boots. We got 2 feet a few days ago and it is snowing now 3" or 4". I did a few pavement hillclimbs (but don't see the pavement). The stock V tires don't do that great in the snow. Recon where do you go snow riding up here? I won't get my trailer out for quite awhile.

 

We start down at Miller Canyon (Silverwood Lake), which doesn't get much snow (so the roads are clear), then we ride up to behind Arrowhead. The canyon faces north, and keeps its snow very well, even after everything else has melted.
