| Home sweet home! RV's and Sleds make for a fun weekend! |
After the last snowmobile trip with Metzger, we sat down and decided we needed to ride sleds again very soon. We decided it would be fun to take the RV's up to the mountains for some winter camping. Ruth and I loaded up the trailer and headed into the hills to meet Mike and Shannon. The roads up the pass were nice and clear, but no sooner than when the jacks were down, did it start snowing! It snowed all weekend and the snow conditions were amazing.

Mike and I rode sleds a few times, Ruth and I went XC skiing, the dogs played in the snow, and everyone hung out and a had a great time!
Fast forward a few days and drop down a few thousand feet. I was able to get out on the bike with the dogs for a quick ride. The ride wasn't anything special, just a normal evening at Grand Ridge. The awesome part was that I managed to go after work and had enough daylight to ride without bringing lights! I ran into Tyler Salvage from Evergreen and we rode until dark and even squeezed in a drink at the bar before the night was over.

| Pure elation. |
This is one of the most fun times of year as a racer. This is when all of the new product starts to appear. My 2014 product is slowly arriving. I managed to get out to Tokul for a few laps on a new steed this weekend. The new Diamondback bikes are looking amazing and I can't wait to reveal the whole 2014 lineup.

It has been snowing consistently for the last 12 days. Stevens Pass has received 12 FEET of snow in the last 12 days. Knowing there was endless powder, Ruth and I decided we needed to dust off the snowboards and make some tracks. I'm sitting here typing this because I am still so excited about how good the conditions were today that I can't sleep. I've never ridden through powder that was this deep. We rode until neither of us were able to stand up anymore. Today was the most fun I've had on a snowboard in years.

| So Seattle. |
 |
| Fresh deep powder everywhere. This is under Hogsback (The main chairlift!) |
 |
| Couldn't wipe the smile off my face! |
The snow has been amazing, but bike season is right around the corner. I am working to dial in the new bikes and can't wait to hit the trails again! Until next time...
