12.28.15 Ride 4.3 in the books

tough day...but we had snow. so we rode.

The Motorfist gear delivered again.  

Ryan is sporting his new Alpha jacket since the trees are now prime for banging. The new bullet proof Kelvar panels are wearing awesome especially in the extreme wear zones. The Alpha bibs share the same technolgy, lining the inside of the legs to combat the abuse delivered by the running boards and tunnel.

 

The entire alpha lineup is a new animal built for the serious tree rider.   Hoping to try the Alpha boot with BOA system soon, Ryan is raving about their super-light weight and industry 1st sole.

just got home...too tired to edit..but here's a quicky. WC conditions: ave 3 ft base w/ another 30-45" of fresh from Mondays storm. Expect untouched wind-loaded areas will have 50% more, and some unstability.

December is finally here.... Welcome back WKS riders!

Ryan made a few handlebar adjustments, and we're off.....

After 10 miles of breaking trail, it was time to drop into our 1st park of the season.

The snow was crazy deep 3-4 feet in places (with 2 feet of base)....unreal for only 2 storms!
