March 2013

okay, more like PM 2.23.13 but its a pertinent title for Utah winters no?  Anyway, the PM here doesn't stand for particulate matter but for Patsy Marly, a URC favorite. 


This last storm cycle we got about 20-24 inches of medium density snow and nice cold temps to keep is airy.  Wade and I got out a little after the storms main blast but not too late before the spring warmth wreckity wrecked the place.  Unfortunatly, we had to do our tour later in the day than we'de hoped so it had already seen a little warming and moderate traffic by the time we got to it.  Granted "Moderate traffic" in the backcountry, even the Wasatch backcountry, is freshies at Snowbird or Alta so we were still pretty stoked. 

So uncharacteristically of me, I don't have many good pictures or any video to show because I was in the mood to just ride.  And I will tell you, the riding was nice.  With a good 2 feet of 8-10% all the way down. 

I took this picture to try and show the snow conditions, but I failed...it was WAY better than this picture.


Either way, it was good to be out again.  I know there are at least a few more days for me still, lets hope for a snowy snowy spring!
