It rained here and snowed at the summit from Friday through Monday. So I skied on Tuesday and Wednesday, then rode to Napa to see my sister on Thursday and back to Grass Valley on Friday. It's a sunny Valentines Day weekend with highs in the 70s. We still need more rain and snow, so please send us the precip you don't want or need.
Monticello canyon into and out of Napa is one of the best twisties venues anywhere and the south side of Berryessa is newly surfaced. Sunny, green, gorgeous and perfect riding weather across the agricultural bottomland of the great valley and almost no traffic. California sucks.
That doesn't mean other states don't have good riding or skiing, though. Looking forward to Telluride in March, and I'll even enjoy the drive. Too bad the Carolinas and the Maritimes are so friggin far away.
