I can look out my window and see grass, all over the place, bare ground. I can drive 10 minutes north of my house, drop at a friends place and ride on a solid 6-10" of base with a foot and a half or better of snow in the woods....
Those who went on the SF Ride, where we hit 46 and were able to all open up the sleds (that perfect trail), and then stopped for our picture, rode that loop tonight (30 miles), by my lonesome, and i think my lowest cruising speed was 45-50? averaged probably 65-70 most of the time.
Lots of snow with the farther north you go the better it gets. The main trail (c4) was a little bumpy, but nothin the fuse couldnt soak up, going back up tomorrow night (why not!) will try and get some pics for all you poor souls!!!

...Nothing beats the sound of the TripTrip...
