Yes - bring it on. Looks like a little more snow and that patch could become real fun. Nice work getting out on it early.

Nice Vets! You are one dedicated man....although, maybe if you'd hit it a couple days earlier you would have had fresh light powder over ice and rocks...

It was on a pair of Bros Splat posted. Must have fallen off. Was Splat there before you?
