Fatbiking Phils' Trail

After a day of skinning and backcountry fun on Saturday, it was time to get out on the chubby tires on Sunday.  The wifer and I decided to hit up Phil's trail to see how rideable that system was.  We had a fair amount of snow recently and I was unsure how rideable the Phil's trail network was.  The variables were how much snow they got, how packed down it was, and what the snow conditions were.

As luck would have it, all three variables were primO.  The trail had been packed down by other fatbikers, as well as hikers, skiers, and snowshoers.  It made for a great day.  We parked over by the highschool by NW Crossing and rode the access trail along skyliners to gain access to the Phil's network.  We rode up to road 300 and then re-traced our steps for a great out and back.

We ran into other fatbikers in the parking lot upon our return to Phils....shhh, the secret is OUT...fatbiking is FUN!

By the time we wrapped up, the temps were warming up and we were talking about how we had perfectly timed our ride for snow conditions, as they snow was now starting to warm up and get soft.

The fatbiking possibilities here are enormous!
