Like some kind of bastard cross between.....

.....ski flying, snowmachine hill climbing, snow boarding and maybe tobogganing. :D Lot's of fun landing these hill sides and then sliding back off, often at no more then a fast idle..... real dream like and super addictive. The last couple days we finally got a little snow to play with. Really still just the minimum but I'm not complaining as it is the right consistency to provide a good base for the next storms.

The first snow landing of the year, and for that matter, my first takeoff down my ski ramp, is a bit spooky, it just feels wrong. A leap of faith but then it is quickly all good! The amount of places I have to play in is mind boggling, and a lot of them literally right in my backyard.ImageImage Both of these were landed from the right, takeoff to the left.ImageImage

Humor may not make the world go around, but it certainly cheers up the process... :)
With clothing, the opposite of NOMEX is polypro (polypropylene cloth and fleece).

Wow Jealous is right, and lazy. Beautiful photos. It's too much work pulling off the bush wheels and brakes and putting on the skis. I need a hanger servant.
