Sat at home all day Saturday due to 27 feet of snow. Was planning on going to the extreme enduro practice on Sunday at Tong but the weather was too extreme so they canceled that.

Decided to get my bike ready for green laning Sunday and noticed that loads of roads were closed near me, but what do they know.

Many people were waving me down saying the roads blocked.

The winds made my bike drift sideways on the ice so i had to drive at 45 degrees to go straight

This guy decided to spoil my fun a bit

and again

Was pretty deep at some points

Look for the bike at the top left

Decided that i would need a run up to get through this

https://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii302/ian505050/ian505050%202/DSC01013_zps3c5d3987.jpg

Thought i might as well go pro my self trying to jump the bike over a snow hill, but it went wrong.

Got snow in my mouth and eyes but did not have to wash it out as snow melts and turns to water.

Then it got silly deep

https://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii302/ian505050/ian505050%202/DSC01073_zps665fd832.jpg



Fell off on way home trying to go up a curb at 45 degrees that was under snow.
