5 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. A monster storm has gone away and sun is coming out this morning. This storm didn’t leave many snow here but left lots of traps like snow drifts, wind packs, big gaps etc… I’m very excited as I took a day off not riding yesterday but trying to ride carefully today.
The weather getting calmer and calmer. The DAY is coming soon.
