Bought an X
So went up to Manning Park yesterday morning with the family for a nice little XC ski. We left early and were up on highway 3 just as the plows had made their first pass. Conditions were packed snow and slippery sections.
I took it easy, even with my studded winter tires. Snuck past a semi truck (with chains on) that was jack knifed in a S bend corner in the oncoming lane/ditch. Not 1km later get blasted past by a couple of motorists doing well over 100km/h.
On the way back down the hill later that day, roads are still not 100% clear, so taking it easy again. Get passed by a couple of vehicles in the passing lane. 10 minutes later, come past them. 1 in the snow bank in oncoming side, the other in the ditch on their roof. Stop to make sure no injuries & then proceed down the hill to cell reception to call it in.
Just makes me shake my head sometimes.
