Flat tops Minnesota (and Italian) style

Scenery (click for large)

Epic day up on the Flat tops with Benjamino, Justino, Zacharino, Sarah the Tsunamy, Simone and Christophero. We all got Italian names for the day due to Sarah and Simone from Italy. Rough trail going up and coming down but it was doable. Went WAY north this time and saw some brand new stuff. Lots of pictures. Sarah the Tsunamy was trying out a new fast photo feature on her camera. She had 385 pictures, Justino had 190 and Chistophero had 10. We did seventy five total miles. I blew one belt. Sarah hit a rock. Two rolled snowmobiles. Benjamino took a handlebar to the head. Simone almost hit all of us at one time or another. That is why we wear helmets and he doesn't. Nice soft powder and lots of jumps. Click on any of the photos for full size.

My neck will be sore

Is this Italian trying to get OFF or ON his snowmobile?

On the way home

Hey! Just blog surfing and thought I'd say hello. I love seeing all the snow pictures ... we didn't get much snow here this year so I miss it! :-)
