2/24 Kenny's Where to Ride

Skyline should have light wind today around 10, may crack low-teens. Surface conditions are not good, the wind has scoured the surface, so you have solid snow and zastrugi (ridging caused by high winds). A few years ago we had a winter with powerful winds and zastrugi was a common condition. I personally dislike it, it is like riding chop all day on the water, it just pounds you as you ride over it.

Saturday brings increasing winds as a front approaches in the afternoon. Skyline will have wind in the upper-teens to low-twenties and the same lousy surface conditions. Snow should begin to fall in the afternoon. PowMow will have even stronger winds than Skyline. Looks like an ideal day for Monte Cristo. Strawberry will have wind, but take your waders as the snow will likely be slushy. The Marina is probably your best bet for wind. It probably will be inconsistent.

Sunday looks like wind in the mid-teens at Skyline, hopefully enough snow will fall to vastly improve the surface conditions. PowMow promises some decent riding as well.
