South Fork / Wolf Creek sledding trip

Great weekend out of town. Tsunamy (Sarah), Todd (sugar snow) Moyer and Ratz went on a road trip to South Fork, CO down by Wolf Creek pass and ski area. They have been getting lots of snow down south this winter and we wanted to check it out the area for riding. All the snow was set up as it is everywhere in Colorado at the moment due to the warm weather. So the snow wasn't deep or anything, but we still found some soft snow here and there. Incredible area, big bowls, some big fields, technical riding, lots of long hill climbs and lots of snow. We were riding up to 12,000 feet in some areas. We'll be back.

Good place to stay. Cheap decent rooms and the rates included breakfast
