Cheezin’ 😁 .... after the wheezin’ 😫😤😫😤

I KELSO hard! And got so faaaaaaaaaaaaaar! 🎶🎵🎶 So many fun lines to choose from right now but having an obvious pun of lyrics from the first CD I may or may not have pirated and burned really gave this one an edge. #linkinturnslinkinpark

May 26th and it finally feels like proper spring! Summited the ridge between The Citadel and Bethel and dropped around 10:30 but would recommend 10 to avoid sticky snow patches at the bottom. Kept things relatively mellow based on multiple reports of wet slides the past few days. Sunny with the perfect breeze. All you need is good company and lots of sunblock to whoooopeeee down this area! (Herman Gulch area also looking gooooooood)

Holy May 12th! Dropped into a WNW aspect at about 13100 around 11am in the Mayflower Gulch area and found season-topping, premium powder turns. Most of the way up we observed loose on firm snow conditions and turned around when things started becoming more firm on loose. Get out there, stay safe, and enjoy this ridiculous Maycember/Maybruary snowpack! Also, shout out to the mom who was out there on skis with her 6 week old! #lifegoals

First XC race ever last Saturday! I learned about the mysterious craft of passing (and a lot more about getting passed) on singletrack, managing starting line nerves, and pedaling hard to the point of really loud, really ugly breathing, haha. Most of all, I learned that I have a lot more to learn and improve on and getting there can be fun! Special shout out to my @pedalracing teammates, @trainerroad , @vidamtbseries , and @platformstrength crew for setting me up and motivating me to go farther and faster! Happy to feel like I’m making progress on my 2019 MTB season goals (https://bit.ly/2VMc10P) ☺️ Also check out the sweet pic of @the_emertron ! #bokehallday

Sunday quickie up and down Coon Hill proper! Dropped around 10am and rode down a mini gully (👍🏻). The snow stayed consistent until about the last 400ft where it was mixed between slush and super crust. Spring skiing is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
