Looks super fun! Got hit that sometime

Rad to see and gotta be cool to ride through so many old growth redwoods! Glad we didn't chop em all down haha

Looks super fun and flowy! I gotta get up there...

Your bike's steering/handling looks amazing! What is the angle and length of your stem? What is the width of your bar?

Man i want to get back out to California soon. My only experience was on Black Lassic,and it was my first time riding backcountry. Have you ever been? Saw an old post mentioning Chanchelulla Peak which is not far away and similar looking.

In the early 70’s my brother upgraded his pretty blue Peugeot U-08 with Nisi sew up rims on the factory Normandy hubs. Right in this area he was on an intense descent when a “chick on a damn Huffy” was on his line at a blind corner. Collision! She was ok. The Huffy was ok. My brother was ok. Alas, that nice Frenchie was ruined, the front wheel in pieces, frame and fork bent. How fast was he going? “I was bookin’”

Your hub is crying

Looks super fun fast and flowy! Going to have to check this place out for sure.

Looks really nice! I'll have to check that area out sometime.

Nice! Never been up that other side, but does look like fun bombing down.

Been a glorious last few days on the Sonoma Coast! Fog and cooler weather returned yesterday evening though.

Nice time of year for riding around there. I'm probably going to hit it up in a week or so

I just rode this trail. Good trail and loop it around.

Looks like a spicey start, but decent snow and fun turns. Those lenticulars are super cool looking when they form like that, but unfortunately usually mean strong winds haha

I wonder if the wildlife did ok in there with all the fires. I’d be interested to know if you saw anything alive in there.

Very nice setup and variety!

Dang racing rollerballs haha!

That felt good to watch. Thanks for doing that.

almost turned into an episode of Skifree

That line goes for on for awhile. Milked it to the end of the snowpack. Definitely more terrain to explore up there!

Yeah that is definitely my favorite line I've done out there, but never taken it that far down. Seemed like it gets pretty steep and wasn't sure if it got drained out. Looks like it does go a bit further for fun turns and you got some pretty good smooth snow with the recent refresh.

That's one long traverse, not much skiing but I still gave you a like.

Wow nice fun line down to the lake and surprise turns on the road near the end. More snow than I'd expect at that elevation, but I guess it's kind of tucked in and protected from the morning sun over there with how that ridge extends to the west. That exit with the flat traverse road is definitely much better suited for skiing than splitboarding.

Freaking rad dude! Sweet line choices and nice skiiing. Surprised coverage is still that good up there.

Super cool summit and scramble to get up there. Kinda reminds me of Hammerhorn. Nice to see it was still holding a good amount of snow for skiing.

Looking super nice! You got a lot of diversity there. How much of that is edible? We need to step up our gardening game, just hard to find the time. Maybe this summer when the snow is gone and the waves are crap haha

Nice! Looks steep and techy

Wow fresh Bear tracks all over the fire break! There were some on our way down last time too that weren't there on our way up. Must be some good things for them to much on in that zone and luckily they don't seem too interested in us. My dog probably freaked it out when we were there. Might have to change the name to the "Bear Break" haha. Also that's cool you still had just enough snow to milk it down pretty low.

Ps that's rad how the line ended in an area of big alive old growth trees. Reminds me of the good old days before the fires

Looks like fun terrain and a nice day but too bad the snow quality wasn't all that great for you. Weird how good corn snow and cycles have been really hard to come by this season. Seems to me like mostly too warm of overnight lows and rapid warming during the day.

Looks like some fun fire road bombing with nice open view, despite the burn scape. The greenery from spring helps mask the tree carnage. SO crazy and sad how much of our adventure zones have burned in the last 10 years!

Nice job getting all the way up and over there and finally skiing that new line. Looks like a super long fun one! The length and elevation seems like it could rival the Hull waterfall line. Going to have to compare maps

Haha that's so rad to be skiing along those bear prints!

Nice work hitting that long ridge to the north! I've been intrigued to explore the steeper lines on the sub peak over there, but always seems like too big of a mission on the splitboard with that flat ridge in between. Glad to see the south ridge has nice coverage too, but always those damn wind drifts in the middle flats that get me haha

That looked pretty dang fun. Gotta love the warm spring days with fast snow! Nice job navigating as the snow thinned out towards the meadows, especially that dirt gap!

How do you get to the top? The road is not passable is it?

Looks like some fun turns in the firebreak at least!

Hull yeah! Happy to show you our most reliable line and nice work on that initial chute, considering the variable conditions and the firm factor! Grateful you tested it so we could go a less sketch way. That chute and the one on the north side of that rock are super fun when it's powder though.

That was a fun more complex one! Mentally noted for next time that there could be wind drifts with surprisingly big drops to flats haha

Some nice turns once you got the speed up. I always struggle through there and wish it was just a tad steeper. That lower section was super weird looking with all the cracky voids in the snow.

The marble shrapnel you were talking about in the beginning looks really trippy! I guess the good thing about it being firm on the steeps up top is that you don't have to worry about rocks haha

Way to thread the needle up top and that's nice there was just enough snow to milk it all the way down to Camp 3. Couple more feet and the south side would be much better. Too bad these next systems are warmish and probably won't help add much.

Sweet! Snow coverage and quality looks pretty decent after you got through the muck up top. Cool to see more animal tracks in the snow up there. I haven't seen near as much since the last fire burned most of the trees. Were those bear tracks in this video and maybe Fisher or Pine Marten in your pics? Used to see a bunch of those pre fire, but haven't seen any since. Would be cool if they're making a come back in there!

Sweet, looks like a Hull of a time! hard to tell for sure, but I think my Subie would have clearance issues pretty early on with the size of the tracks/ruts.

Nice video, what's going on with your technique? Why you swing your arms so much?

What a grand video. Really impressive effort and reward out there.

Beautiful being above the clouds! Love those days when you're above it and it doesn't creep up to where you're in it with low vis. You did well battling through those wind drifts on the ridge. That zone seems to always be a challenge for me haha. Probably should ride with my poles ready for the flat sections. Bummer that tree fell right at the start of upper meadows @6:20 since that's an important part to build speed. Way to milk it till the end with no shark attacks!

That looks very nice and congrats on beating me to first turns in Mendo NF this season!

Love that viewpoint on the way up. How's the coverage/shark factor on the lower east side of that ridge? I had fun riding that last season.

Wow wow you are out there!!!
