I could never put my bike away for the season. I broke my all time record and went 3 weeks without riding. Sure felt good....
Aint mad at ya. Bike been setting for over a month.

Nice rip for me today; 82 degrees & partly cloudy. But, a lot of wind.

I remember a-basin to be a bit more extreme than that. Is the top open? How's the snow pack in Co?

We're just opening up here in Alberta, base is pretty thin.

There are plenty of areas more steep than the run from the pic - they are open top to bottom but on limited terrain
Snow pack is okay for this time of the year - better then previous years
Attached is a pic from the Adamants region up in BC a few years ago during a Heli ski trip week - could not get far enough away so had to piece the pic together from 2 actual pics - hence the distortion in the middle with the guy in the blue coat

I'm definitely done for the year. Been below freezing and icy for the last 2 weeks. It did get into the high 30's yesterday, but there's already sand and salt on the roads. The riding season was way too short this year.

It's been raining a lot here lately but today feels like a hot humid summer day with a cold front on the way for Thanksgiving. They're calling for crystal clear skies and 65 degree temps.

It was gorgeous today, about 85, took a nice ride along A1A about 30 miles to meet some friends for lunch, rode home on I-95 to my Indy, ordered new tires for the Springer and they were running a half price special. Life is good.
