I like the idea of an ongoing "this is my season" thread, like lilduke and Shadam have. I'm gonna rip them off and do one of my own, as I always pack the camera and gopro when I go sledding so I might as well post some of this stuff on here.
I'll start with my trip to Revy and Golden last weekend w/ CJR and hevy_chevy67.
We rode Boulder on the 14th. Low-vis but a pile of snow, had a good time. Last year I gained the reputation of finding creeks like I was getting paid to do it...well looks like this year is gonna be the same cause I caught two that day.
The lack of visibility was the cause for one of my creek mishaps. Know when you're going along great, suddenly your guts sink as you hit that unseen lip and you're launched into/over the black pit of a creek below? Yeah it's come to be a feeling I'm rather familiar with and one I do't like much haha luckily this time I didn't plow it into the other side, I actually landed fine but got stuck when I stopped to warn the other guys of what I'd hit.
Sunday the 15th we went to Quartz Creek and mucked about in the trees there. Conditions were decent, if you get out from the main areas and poke around there was good snow. Got stuck lots, but surprisingly no creeks this time.
