Yesterday we loaded up ourselves, the pick-up and the snowmachines and headed to Grand Mesa
Where I started to get back my ‘snow-machining legs’, which I had left behind in 2002.
Of course, Terry didn’t have any problems
He raced up and down hills while I stayed safely on the trails. Although, sometimes I did venture into the pale whiteness and take myself up and down a few short climbs.
By the time the blizzard was in earnest, we decided to load up and head home.
A brief outing into the frozen, brittle and crisp snow on Grand Mesa.
It was extremely exhilarating and refreshing!

It looks as if the two of you had lots of fun. I’m glad you could get away for a fun break!

Great to be able for a snow thrilled tobogganing ride or motor racing
on a snow bike!
I recall having this fun way back in the early 60’s at Falls Creek here
in Australia.
Now the spirit “may” be willing but no way would my back survive – probably
even the thought.
Cheers from a not/never snowy Terrigal.

Super fun! I’ll never be able to ski again, but your description made me remember the mad exhilaration of dropping over the edge and zooming down a pristine white slope…

OH! WOW! YOU! I could never get myself to learn how to ski…I always felt out of control.

There was a time in my life when I went to the snow for a week every year, usually in France. The sense of freedom is wonderful, but there’s always the initial leap of faith 🙂

See those tree wells….they are evil…suck you right in and trap you there. I’m not a good enough rider to figure out how to get myself out…so I stay AWAY!

Jan made me smile too. I’m no longer a fan of getting out there in the snow. It’s butt cold here like we haven’t seen in years and the ice and snow left us in a mess for commuting this morning. I extended myself enough to take the trash to the curb but they decided not to pick up today. ;( They are weenies too. I’m glad you kept an eye on the hubby so someone could call for help if necessary. 😉 It is refreshing to be in fresh snow.
