Actual snowfall from this weekend. The southern alps got absolutely hammered.
Passo rolle is 1984 meters (6509ft) above sea level just for reference . Depending on region and height, we got between 1m and 3m of fresh snow, starting from zero.
Avlanche danger is very high at the moment.

Conditions would be absolutely prime, if the lifts weren't closed due to Covid.


I need to introduce your people to: "the real snowmobile". Not that hippy shit you putt around ski resorts on in the yurp.

Crispy roast potatoe bits, peas, carrots with Mcdonnells curry sauce (embellished with some added spicier curry) and melty Muenster cheese. I can't believe it's not poutine!

Cranberry and pear upside down cake.

I was contemplating buying a used one, tbh.
Using snowmobiles in the backcountry is not allowed around here. Which is good. Way too many rednecks riding moto illegaly in the woods. There would be way too much traffic.

Well, to be fair to the kid, I'm sure the bike was faster with red rotors (and calipers I can only assume)
I don't remember what color the calipers were, but the cassette was also spray painted red. I couldn't even make fun of him, the kid was so nice. Just had no clue.

Bought a side by side to take the fam out. There was a fair bit of rock crawling to get here. We decided to picnic well, lamb kabobs. Kabobs are great it’s a cooking method, a utensil and its biodegradable cause it’s a stick.

Knowing absolutely nothing about boats, is this because it wasn't properly secured to the trailer? Or is it just a terrible idea to slam on the brakes for a red light when you're towing a boat?
Boat trailers have a winch post in front that also serves as a centering/stop point for the vessel. I suspect that the post was defective or corroded and broke. There had to be other factors for the vessel to have overridden the cab of the truck, though.

Panic stop.
