Session 37 of the 2017 season: Slow start to an excellent Michigan "Spring Riding Day"

Carving figures 8s

A beauty of a bluebird day at Crystal Mt. Started out cloudy and grey but eventually it cleared up and made the riding exciting.
Lower 40s, soft pack and groomers.
It doesn't matter where you're at a bluebird day makes all the difference. Some of my best spring conditions happen in Michigan.
The conditions were so forgiving I could do any experimental trick without worries of crashing. Consistent soft surface made for deep carving to easy backsides.
