3--Uinta Roads

Many Thanks to Jon for going on a 'road ride'. Snow was a little sparse for much off trail riding. The trail, however, was near perfect, almost as good as when they groom em. Traveled 44 miles. I had a great day. Beautiful sunny day, gorgeous scenery and views. So... nice. Looks like no snow for a while. Matt was driving down from a kite session as we were packing up.

68-11M Rush

Doug and Vern on 13M, I rode my 11M.
Very nice for late season session.
It's such flat water, I like it.

2-- Sled Uinta roads

Brian drove up and we unloaded at Mill Creek road.
We took many side roads and found some easy access to some future powder stashes.
The photo is At Lake Creek where we rig kites,
we have discussed a shelter for some years.
This spot in between many close together pines
and is where we are going to try to keep it dug out and
sheltered from the wind, we'll see how that works for us.
Over 50 miles today.

1--Sled Duchene Ridge

Matt and I drove to 9400' Wolf Creek campground
and unloaded the sleds for a sweet early season road ride.
We ended up at Lake Creek.
There were patches of good coverage
but mostly air pockets under the sagebrush.
So we decided against snowkiting.
There were a few grassy areas that we could get off the roads with the sleds and make some carving turns.
It was colder than expected, or we both just still have thin blood.

67--Rush 11M

Me and Doug and Todd
got the slickwater at Rush for a great November session
before the cold north wind and storm came in.

66-10M 7M Willard

After the boardshorts and warm water in SPI
it was hard to climb into the big bulky drysuit.
Comfort kiting quickly became overpowered kiting on the 10M.
I was about to ditch the kite behind the wind shadowed trees
when Dave drove up and landed me.
I quickly rigged the 7m but was stalled by a dude that had a hard time getting out,
he came back in and dropped his stuff on top of mine.
It flew away and over me, lines and all, I grabbed a line and it slammed into the power station,
ripping it in many places, I finally got his lines off my gear and went out
to a slightly under powered second session.
After kiting we hung out in the RV.
It was nice cause Vern locked his key in his car,
so we had comfortable place to wait for AAA.
