Magic Carpet Ride

Super Bowl Sunday me and a few of the guys took advantage of the clear skies and crisp air, to go for a snow machine ride up the "Falls Trail" to Lake Kontrashabuna. Of course the scenery was breathtaking, and so was the temperature at -22F when we left. Engine heat, goggles and facemask, and hot-grips, kept us nice and toasty. Of course the carhart coat and overalls were not bad idea either.

  1. Did you know it gets that cold there before you moved there? Just curious....sunny and 74 today in PHX. Great pictures, thanks for sharing. All the best,

  2. I am seriously wishing that we could've been there! No snow here...just on the mountains. I was really surprised to find out how mild the winters are here in Nepal. I found out later that we are on the same latitude as San Antonio, TX!! No wonder. Oh well.
