I wish I had a helmet cam for this past night of riding.
The fog was so thick, you could only see the chairlifts immediately in front and behind of you, the rest were obscured.
On the trail, moving at about average speed for me (full throttle) I had 2-4 seconds of vision of the terrain in front of me. And that is a high estimate.
Wickedly fun.
This was a very good learning experience for me. The conditions forced me to hit all of the anomalies in the terrain that most people (including myself) would avoid. Why? Because I couldn't see them until they were right in front of me.
One of the best parts was breaking out of the fog bank into the clear air about halfway down the slope. It would take me a few seconds before I realized that I was no longer in the fog, it was a new experience everytime.
Anyhow. I hope I get to do this again.
