I'd post some pictures if I actually got out to ride... Maybe this week.. We'll see...
Anyway, have fun in Brek.. At least they have some good snow going on there. Things are a bit slow starting out here in Cali... Starting to seem like the Pacific Northwest with the next system coming in as rain on top of our first real good dump of snow just a couple days ago.. :( Oh well...

To put things in perspective, base elevations for Squaw Valley is below 7000ft, as with most Tahoe resorts. My home resort of Kirkwood has a base of almost 8k, but it usually stays a little colder there some I'm crossing my fingers... Still, bring your raincoat out to go riding... wassup with that?
