Well it was a tough call today on whether to head up to Snow Bowl with the snowboard and get first tracks or stay in Sedona and get first tracks here. As usual mountain biking wins out if conditions are almost perfect and fresh snow will always win out.

Chuck Wagon seemed like a good call after an overnight period of snow and rain and we weren't disappointed.

I made the call today to ride instead of drive up the hill and tour. As much as I love riding...I made the wrong call. The mountain received far more than predictions called for...or had already fallen by the time I went to bed last night. Friends I talked to today threw around terms like "hip deep" and made general statements such as, "I was getting tired of breaking snow...could have used another person". Despite that...I still had fun with our velcro like conditions....just not as much fun as hip deep snow.

I admit deep and steep would have been better than what the conditions were on the trails. That being said as the days go by it is only going to get better on the trails until it snows again.

It's about that time of year. I was up in flag on Monday and Tuesday. Monday was pretty weak but Tuesday more than made up for it. It never stopped snowing the whole day. The day couldn't have been better, well I could have not puahed my bumper in on a slick corner, but the boarding was prime. I'll post up some pics from my Christmas day trip, should be killer.
