In preparation for the upcoming backcountry snowboarding season, I took the new snowshoes out for a shakedown cruise today. It’s been a while since I humped around the woods on a pair of snowshoes; my last pair of snowshoes was made from hardwood and rawhide, these are “western” style snowshoes; aluminum frame with neoprene and … Read more

The weather has been more like late December than late November, but you have to take it as it comes around here. Another half foot of snow overnight last night followed by a full day of snow and freezing rain. Driving around has been treacherous, to say the least. Heck, it’s tough to walk around … Read more

Last week was sunny and in the mid sixties, today it’s snowing. Pretty good dump. I drove down the hill into town about 11AM, an hour and a half later there was a couple inches of snow on the road. No snow tires on the truck yet, so plenty of sliding going on. By nightfall, … Read more
