First ride(s) in the Elk Valley

[ferniesnow]

This is the YouTube version. The first day it rained, the second day it was -20, and the third day was epic for early season:

Yes, -20 and a little colder with the wind chill. It wasn't nice and like I said in the video, "the temps were so low that none of my cameras were working. Pictures came from a buddy who had his little point and shoot in his internal pocket."

on our proclimbs, we keep our camera's, in their pelican cases in the "goggle warmer" in front of the handlebar!

Just had to break trail up to Koko. It is an annual event!

Normally, in the heated riser bag it is fine. Just got caught without that process done yet. Just finished the installation today as a matter of fact!

At that temperature mine are sitting in the bag on the floor behind my couch, and I'm directly in front of them!

The first day was up Coal Creek and I haven't been back. That was a solid day of rain to 7000'. The snow is soooo much better in the north end of the valley.

 

[nate_9ers]

North towards Elkford?

 

[ferniesnow]

Yes and west. Further north has less snow.
