WWMD:2 MUCH SNOW 2 BIKE, NOT ENOUGH 2 SKI

[powdork]

I know what a maggot would do. Both!

So TahoeTrash and I headed up to Mount Rose to get some turns in prior to riding from Rose Summit to Spooner. When we got there, he called me stupid and said he'd hike, but he wouldn't ski. Something about how his boots affected the sixth toe growing on his foot. On the way up, I saw a snowboarder in the distance and yelled "Got change for a nickel?". Yeah, it was Guermo, whose recent TR was the inspiration for today's tomfoolery. Good to meet you Guermo. Be happy to show you some fun BC lines on the South Shore.

Here's the ski portion of today's fun.

They said my money was no good here. Cool.


Hiking up from the bottom, which I later learned was the stoopid way.


Approaching the waterschrund





Guermo gettin some. He pretty much bumped this run out all by his self.


Hiking back up for #2


Here's a short vid of the second run. The nice thing about parking at the bottom is I could get a lot more vert on the last run.



Now for the bike portion. I told Trash i wouldn't go cuz my panties were riding up the crack of my ass, but I went anyway.
Meh, this isn't so bad.


Now it's bad.


If it weren't bad enough


These fuckers stated attacking us


On the downhill portions, the snow wasn't too much of a problem. On the uphills and traverses, it would eat your front tire.


Route finding was difficult at times.


Misty mountain hop


Goggles and Jeans? gaper!


We finally reached the Flume Trail goodness


Winter's on the way. Just not next week.

Looks like you are going to need the The Ktrak: half-ski, half-track mountain bike pretty soon

[powdork]

^^nah. Pretty soon my bike will be on ebay to pay for my new goats and dukes.

Nice Tahoe triathalon. Hike - Ski - Bike.

A word to the wise after a day to reflect. If you wear your skiing helmet on a bumpy biking trip, your neck's gonna be sore as shit the next day.

That was awesome...some serious dedication there. Maybe you should have wakeboarded too though?

[powdork]

We were going to, but I ended up being 40 minutes late for work anyway.

Nice TR pd! That bike ride required far more dedication than the skiing part it looks like!! Nice work , love it!

Mucho thanks to the dude with the ZZ Top beard, who was out there solo, and marked the trail for the first couple of miles. Thanks also to Powdork for allowing a detour to the beer store even though already gravely late for work. Hooray Beer

[powdork]

You still have some of that beer left, don't you?

[Huckwheat]

That is just bad ass! You guys rule.
