First Snow


It has officially gotten cold here in Door County. The last few days the mercury has been hovering jsut below 30f, and there is about 3/8" of snow on the ground. Not enough to ski, but enough to be torturous. Yesterday morning I headed out on the MTB for an 1h15m, and saw the first snow of the season on the trail - the funny snow-pellety stuff. A few of the local riders have been doing trail maintenance in Peninsula State Park on our singletrack section of the mountain bike trails, and it has changed drastically from rough and shake-your-brains to fast and much more flowy...sweet to ride. You should definitely come check it out in the next few weeks before the snow piles up!

I think this weekend that I'll be heading to Ski Brule in Iron River, MI for some downhill skiing. Brule's a pretty decent hill with enough terrain to spend a day, and I've got a bunch of free passes, so I may as well use 'em.
