Pedaling is fine. If I stopped short and sliced my noots off maybe not.

Here’s an XCD setup on my ebike. Light and fast.

I'm a day late with this..The craziest storm in history for the Cats.. 2/27/2010

5-7 ft of heavy snow..The day of the Hunter Mt death march, the great power outage for Windham and Hunter..
Only Platt and Bell operated all day..Was the skiing great? not really , but it might have been the greatest day..
Here are some pics...And yes the kid is buried up to her head..
yep that is our leader Harv

I was at Hunter for that epic day, I'll need to see if I can dig up some photos. Perfect example of how snowfall in the valley is no indication for what lies in the mountains. As I remember it Palenville only had a few very windswept inches, by the time we made it up towards the Kaaterskill Trail head suddenly there was over 3 feet, by Haines Falls cars were buried.

While I don't want to rule out the potential for another storm like that, it certainly felt like a once in a lifetime event.

Sometimes like in history, weather repeats itself.
