I love the White Mountains in winter. The area sees lots of use, and has a fantastic winter trail system, with great scenery and views. With a Monday free Remus the Dog and I headed for a bike ride in the Whites.
There was a 4 to 5 inches of fresh snow over a nice packed trail. It was mostly rideable..
Though occasionally not..
There was a strong temperature inversion, and the valleys were really cold…
so I stuck to the trail that stays high, and powered on through the soft snow.
Remus had a blast, and enjoyed my slow biking. Snow biking is a bit hard on him, with his short little legs. He prefers I go slowly, and the fresh snow gave him his wish.
On the bike tech note, I am trying a Fatback Sterling tire in the back, setup tubeless. So far I am pretty happy with it, though it is a bit smaller than I would have liked, and it packs up quite a bit in new snow.
I am also running a Bud in the front, and that thing really makes a huge difference is soft snow.
It is going to be a fun winter!
Sorry for the low words to picture count, more coming soon.
