Yeah, snow has piled up in the Colorado mountains and the backcountry skiing is amazing for this time of year — but we had to get that last Moab fix. Sitting on the deck at an Internet cafe at the moment, on Moab’s main drag. Done with a day of hiking/biking/unicycling/jeeping up on Fins ‘n Things trail. What a cool place for a combo trip. Tons of amazing slickrock to play on, scenic, nice driving, etc.
Some guy named Andrew tagged along for unicycle lessons. He seemed to learn fast, and tackled one of the harder obstacles with nary a whimper. He’s good at backcountry skiing so that probably helped. |
