Their be snow up in them hills
Seen Andy Billy and Courtney he's from Ephram
the snow was nice but the wind was up and down
Put a 3 inch hole in my kite gotten too close to one of the poles.
Thanks to Billy B for letting me use his 17meter kite today

For me it was better than staying home for sure

Video Weather Report & Andy almost making a 1080 Me at the top of Bosco

Thank you for taking the long drive without knowing if there would be enough snow to ride and thank you for taking a video.

From the video, I can see that there are still plenty of bushes on the hill. Are there many exposed rocks near the launch?

If you look at the video of Andy that was right at the launch thier is a pile north of the launch area but the overall launch area is good
It was cold enough where the snow did not stick to your board but I would wax mine before I go

I'm glad you guys went up and got some. I was coming up the last stretch of road when the engine in my new pickup (that i've owned for 200 miles) started acting up... So i arrived to see a few rigging up but had small kids and couldnt risk them freezing to death so then turned around. Despite finicky operation i kept on driving home and made it within a mile or two when he engine seized. Estimates around 7k. I find myself more sad that i couldnt play than having to put a new engine in my new truck. Thanks for the video peter...and nice 720 andy, or is it double front roll?, im not sure.
