Thar  on the Coq March 1


Havoc on the Coq highway. Mandatory chain up for the truckers. Semis were spun out just past  3 bears snow shed, tow trucks reversing down where I was coming up. So this meant there was lots of snow up there. Actually it was blizzard conditions and there was 12" on the off ramps with no tracks. I barely made it through with all wheel drive and good snow tires on.
Snow was awesome on Thar with 18" fresh. The higher up I went though, an icy layer underneath became consistent and was starting to concern me. With it snowing and blowing heavily on a decently steep slope, I turned around.
Got some fantastic turns in the light fluffy powder.











Coq and Manning Park Jan 31-Feb 2


Skiing with Nick and Ryan for 3 days. Lots of opportunities for fart jokes. Some decent skiing and definite fun times. Pics are not in any sort of order and I'll post videos when time permits.
