Mid mountain from Silver lake lodge to park city resort via spiro trail

 

This is one of my favorite trails, and probably one of the best in the state.  I've covered this trail before Here, Here and Here in Video Here and Here so there isn't much more that needs to be said about how amazing of a ride it is.


Conditions

What I can talk about is the conditions on the ride today - amazing....mostly.
the weather was just about as good as you could ask for, 73 and a light breeze.  The trail is mostly on north or northeast facing slopes and so its shady or variable which keeps the sun off your back.  The trouble is, this is Utah and we're the seconds driest state in the union (keep it classy Nevada!) and so if it hasn't rained it a while...and it hasn't...it can be a bit dry, even though snow is still melting.  Speaking of which, here is one of two half pipes that are still around on the trail.  Turns out they are semi-ridable too! (I rode down and mostly back up one part but I'm the cameraman...so...no proof.)


Utah in the spring, am I right?

As far as views go...its tough to beat this ride



At the end of the day, I didn't get very many good pictures, or video....but here is what I have.  I kind of like it

This is just a reminder to myself that

A - Rush trail is awesome
B - You rode in June 1st 2013 and liked it

Conditions were solid and there is a newly cut section of trail (just recently opened) that cuts out the only unpelasant part of that ride...not its full speed top to bottom.  Thanks who's ever idea that was.
