Flour Mills - Jan 17th ride

The weather forecast looked promising for a ride into the Flour Mills.  A bit of a trek to get there with the drive out to the 7000 Road.  A groomed road from our parking area allowed a nice cruising speed (thanks to the Mica Mountain Riders).  From the lake, good snow conditions on the trail in.

Stopped at the lower meadows to "warm up" the sleds.

Great powder conditions and blue sky making an appearance.

We played around on the way over to the "big meadow" area.

Some riders had no difficulties.

Love the orange sled - we always know who it is!!

She has a way of making it all look easy :)

Coming to see why there were a few missing riders

Kathi wanted to go a different way than her sled.

Finally (without elaborating on the delay pictured above), everyone showed up at the 6400 foot level but at that elevation, the fog set in.  We ate our lunch and it only got worse.  It was too cold to sit around and wait for a possible break so we headed down with a few play stops along the way.  For the riders who had never been in before, we didn't get to see this tremendous riding area.  Next time.
