What up folks? The search for deeper snow continues.  It’s been warm and somewhat visible at times.  We’ve seen some killer lines ridden lately.  The pictures are dark so take them with a grain of salt.  Today, we had our sights aimed on Marmot… and it was ON.  Not much snow along the ridgelines as usual but the gullies and technical stuff was bomber. I’ll take Marmot pre-snowmachine riding ANYTIME.

I didn’t bring the cam today…the one day the sun was shining. Jared was prepared so we’ll update the pictures later.  For now, here’s some shots of the lines we rode the past few days.

Probably could have taken a better route…it was worth every step though.

AK afternoons in December = EPIC VIZ!

Dropping…Only 1100 more ft of vertical to go

For you 16 MILE and PARADISE riders: the snow is pretty fun down there!  Nice and carvable without too many whooptee-doos. We ran a few laps this weekend and had a killer time…not as rad as poaching the foot of blower pow on the full moon, but fun nonetheless. Get on it before it get super cold again and freezes solid…NO SNOW in the forecast till next Sunday.  Things can always change.

Also…the NWS is calling for warm weather, which in their words will create “IN AN INCREDIBLE TEMPERATURE INVERSION WITH TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING AT THE SURFACE BUT WELL INTO THE MID 40S AT BETWEEN2000 AND 5000 FT.” Not  awesome…GET ON IT!
