Emeralds “other” bike season……

For the most part the majority of the country has gotten a taste of winter in one form or another as of late. Here in Steamboat we had a blissfully dry fall with very little snow and great riding temps. November brought very cold temps, no snow. Now that December is here we have had a couple of good storms, and some brutally cold temps..... (Think -15 below zero)....a fickle EL' Nino year in the making for sure. So with the ski trails lacking great coverage and paved roads too slick to ride, the in between season is here. Eric, Brad, Sam and a good number of locals have all gotten into the snow biking mode. Our little slice of heaven, known as Emerald Mountain holds a huge number of mountain bike trails during the summer, that come winter, make for perfect packed out snow bike able routes. So the crew has been riding and having a good time with the huge tired bikes. They go pretty slow as to keep from creating too much wind chill on themselves but fast enough to keep the mountain lion at bay.

Enjoy your winter, wherever you might be!
