Studded Tires

So are you guys with the studded tires riding in this type of snow??? Trellborgs are the way to go for this stuff, right???

I'm riding in this snow, and the Trelleborg tires are the best tires that I've tried. Some say that the Michelin front tire is better because the studs are longer. (I haven't tried it)

If you get the Trelleborg you won't be restricted by it, that's for sure.

spend your allowance on a snowboard and a few lift passes instead. At least this way there are medics around to pull you out in a sleigh when you crash and burn into the trees

Nice comeback!

Helmets are a good idea. And if you get a snowboard, please don't forget the wrist braces. The wrist is nasty to heal.....speaking from experience.

That was just a cover up. He is actually living in a retirement home in the deep South with Elvis and Jimmy Hoffa

I agree about the wrist braces when you are first starting out. My first fracture was falling down while taking it easy on a very green run at Louise followed by 6 months of recovery. That same frozen ground exists under all that snow that you crazy's are riding your studded tires on though:cripple:

The helmet is a no brainer
