Weather Talk For BC no matter what you ride

When it's absolutely too cold

Yes, better than I expected. I did a little cross-country session first, to avoid the fog, then came over at ten for a few downhill runs. Foggy and wet snow/sleet falling when I arrived, but by 1030 it switched to purely snow and the visibility improved. Soft groomers with a few cms of fresh on top were fun.
Went up Sky Chair for a couple runs but it was crunchier underneath, maybe because of our recent temp inversion.
Left at 1130 with soggy gloves but a smile on my face :)

Day 37 - Fun session riding with Clay. Patchy visibility but hero groomers. Worked on euro-carves but still having trouble extending my legs ... maybe I'm waiting too long as I'm heading uphill ... I'll watch the videos again
