Rider: Pat Mulrooney Photo: Danielle Balik

The clear skies and warm temps melted the snow and allowed for one more high mountain ride for the season. I hadn't ridden Brohm Ridge in over 10 years and forgot how much climbing there was to the Warren Glacier. It is by far one of the quickest ways into the high alpine of Garibaldi Park. Unreal views of Squamish and all the peaks surrounding Garibadi Lake. Once your at the roads end there are perfect singletracks through-out the meadows. I'll be back with the winter equipment in a few months. Check out the pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/patmulrooney/sets/72157594296973756/       

As I headed out Saturday morning with Danielle the snow covered peaks in Whistler made me doubt that a high alpine mountain bike ride was possible. I look forward to the last few mountain rides of the year. The first snow of the year, no bugs and cool temps. We got lucky somehow and found that the trail was snow free all the way up to 2200m. As we headed back down the Duffey it started to snow and you can certainly feel winter coming! Check out all the pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/patmulrooney/sets/72157594290230747/
