The past few weeks have been rough for my family and as such priorities had to be shifted. Unfortunately, this meant giving up one of my favorite months to ride, March (at some point I will put up the Utah report). This weekend I had my girls at Grandma's, better known as the Log Reserve. While the fam was looking the other way, I slipped the board into the car in hopes of sneaking out to the Reserve at some point. After a 65F Friday, finding snow at all would be a miracle.

The walk down to the Reserve was a bit worrisome as most of the terrain was bare. Last winter, I checked the hills on a regular basis and chose the Reserve location based upon where snow held the longest.

---

The preliminary recon paid dividends as the Reserve was sitting with a healthy 1-2 ft through-out most of the ridable slope.

There were two logs that I hadn't hit yet, the Triple and the Gap. As I was solo and under time constraints, I really did not want to set up the Gap, so I hit up for the Triple. Unfortunately, this happened to be the one place that did not retain its snow, so I had to shovel in a white ribbon of death for a run-in. There was no option to opt out of the log at the last moment as bare rocks and ground were sitting below the first 12 ft of the log.

---

After multiple attempts and nearly slamming into a few trees, I had only pulled off the first two sections. I switched up and started hitting the Logbster Roll, flowing into the third section of the triple, and then nabbing either the Baby Bow or the Apex below. Super fun mini line for a solo sess.

It was a bummer that this first season of Log Reserving didn't see more days or participants, but the few days I hit it up made all the work last summer well worth it. Hopefully I will get another day or two before all the snow disappears.
