Charly and friends snomoshredded Spring Creek today. What is sno-mo-shredding? Well, my dearest friends, snomoshredding is when you take a snowmobile, throw a snowboard rack on it, then ride it out into the backcountry to find powdery untracked lines of snow to ride down. To further explain just how brilliant the idea is, let me tell you that Charly told me early this morning(6am) that he didn't sleep at all because he was so excited to go today. As we began getting dressed, though, I opted out of it for today. Something just felt funny about it, and in the end, after eight hours of riding, Charly told me they only took two thirty second runs, got stuck in the pow a ton, and wiped using snowballs. With me wanting a warm day filled with hot chocolate and nursing my soar body from the previous days riding, it ended up being a good call, as I am not nearly as devoted to the sport as others are.
Despite it all, Charly talks of how nice just being out there it is. I love that he is an adventurer. I did miss out on them digging a pit in the snow to check the stability of the pack. It's something that has been on my
wanting to do list for awhile now.
*This photo was taken on the first snowmobile shred day of the season, but it's of the same place they went to and so I thought I'd include it.
