Clear pictures for you smog/inversion people...

Mt. Nebo
Sanpete Valley


Mt. Timpinogous in the center distance

A better view of Sanpete Valley




I climbed that mountain on a pair of snowshoes to get to the top to take the dang pictures for you people.



It was fun. There were quite a lot of snowmobilers and snowboarders at Fairview Canyon and it was warm, I even saw a boarder wearing a wife beater's shirt. I went out in the backcountry to get away from all the crowds, a nice day today.





Turning your mountain bike into a snowmobile? Use the Ktrak!

I had a dream about these things lastnight so then I googled it and I would like to get one of these and they look pretty dang fun. There are a lot of snowmobile trails up in the mountains and snow covered roads and trails around here you can ride this thing on. I saw one of these in the bike shop last year and they were pretty expensive but now I googled it and they are for sale for $449 for the track and ski kit to hook on your mountain bike. It is called the Ktrak. The price is not that bad and it is probably something to think about getting for next winter. Maybe it would be a little cheaper by next year. I can think about many routes I can go on with this thing and think about how fun it would be with the snow for a change. It would only add five pounds to your bike and keep winter alive! Looks funner than snowshoeing!
