      Thanks! They aren't too easy to get to from any public trails. Some of our private land gets us to a more secluded part of them.

    My buddies and I are wanting to come up that was for a weekend trip. Is it easy to fond some off trail riding?

    • @MattMcHugh257
      @MattMcHugh257  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Super easy, the powerlines are typically a pretty safe bet for off trail riding when you come across them. Hop on google maps in the satelite mode to see where the powerlines are and where they cross trails to determine where you should hit the trails. Further away from towns the better because there will be less tracks on them.

    Got kind of a beginner question with all the snow flying back into your face how are you able to see where you're going without wiping off your goggles constantly

    • @MattMcHugh257
      @MattMcHugh257  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The gopro and my goggles are basically the same thing. However clear the video is is how clear I can see. So when its super dry snow like this, it doesn't stick to goggles/gopro lenses much and just falls off. And if it's a wetter snow, I have to wipe my gopro and goggles often to be able to see well.
