Judy-Lynn and Chris – Day 4

Posted on by Smoke

We’ve driven around enough for a while, so it’s time to try some stuff a bit closer to home.  I forgot my camera, but Chris had his so here’s a few rare ones of me shredding the goods.  This is a new stunt on the 2.5 line up Powers.

Dave’s been hard at work.  It’s been so dry this summer that it’s all about the woodwork.  Digging just doesn’t do any good with how dusty it is right now.

Dang it, I hate it when people leave litter on the trails.

Freight Train!  I love that move…

What…no wildlife today?  I know, I can’t believe it either.  Maybe tomorrow.

Judy-Lynn and Chris – Day 3

Last day of Silverstar, and look who shows up?

Thanks to Judy-Lynn for the pic. Since she couldn’t ride, she hiked to the top of the mountain, just because she could.  Now THAT’S what I call team spirit.

Some minor mechanical problems resulted in a few minutes of downtime at the end of the day, but the mountain staff was rad enough to give us a bonus hour of riding time to end the season.  How do you all feel about that?

Yup, thought so.  Here’s the very last crew of the year at the top of the hill.  I was sort of sore after getting trashed by Lorraine (another former DH superstar chicka from around here), so I went with the rest of the old boys to an off piste trail.

There you go, the boys ending the year with a run on Stubbys

Judy-Lynn and Chris – Day 2

We were going to go to Silverstar today, but Judy-Lynn has to hang around the hospital today, so we’re off to ride Penticton instead.  So I get to see what kind of rider Chris is…

Pretty good form, I’d have to say.  We shredded a run down the Peat Bog and then checkout out the local creek for some more wildlife.  Kokanee isn’t just a crappy beer, it’s actually the name of a kind of land-locked salmon indigenous to the lake.

Then, on the shuttle return, I ran across these California Bighorn Sheep.

Pretty awesome, I’d have to say.  So is this phat Ponderosa pine tree.  There’s a stand in this one trail we regularly ride that must be a couple hundred years old.

I think Chris is liking round 2.

Stylin’ action shot in the bunchgrass.

Yup, that’s the sunset.  Thumbs up.

OK, so Judy-Lynn will be out of surgery soon.  So we’re out for today.
