Just finished what is easily in the running for my best day of skiing ever.
I've literally been planning this thing for years. We lucked out in that an access road is plowed this winter, cutting several miles off the trip. It was possible to complete this in about 9 hours instead of requiring an overnight.
And it was even better than I expected, despite spring-like conditions.
What? No, Utah is next week.
And as much as that costs it better be completely mindblowing when I've got this in my backyard:
Oh yeah, we also had another fatbike race on Saturday. This one was on some trails I'm very familiar with at MTU. That, combined with the big ring on my Pugs (something a lot of fatbikes don't have) let me beat quite a few people who normally finish far ahead of me. Sadly though, this was just an all out hammerfest, completely redlined the entire duration of the race, which kind of gets away from what I like about fatbiking. But the organizers agree that throwing in some singletrack next year sounds like a good idea, so this race has some potential.
