My plans for the weekend were changed do to unforeseen circumstances, and since I already had the sleds loaded to go, why waste a nice sunny day with snow on the ground.
So my neighbor Jake, along with Tyler and I headed out to the flats via the ice bridge at the end of Cushman St. and enjoyed a good 50 mile ride. We started by going up to Clear Creek Butte, headed southwest from there and cut trail back to the ice bridge and made a good loop.
The sun was out most of time and the snow was pristine, most of the time. We rode down to the Intertie and didn’t see a soul until we got close to the river. At this point we also started seeing more tracks and what trails there were did become hard packed and well used.
But hey, as you can see in the photos below, there were lots of open fields with untouched powder. Seems folks like to come up the slough from the Tanana and didn’t do much riding to southeast of there, thanks all, I really appreciate you leaving me all those open fields of powder.
