Mt. Nebiso Jan.19 snow

I went to the Nebiso trails this weekend, again.
My friend's Commencal Meta AM.
6 riders gathered today.
Usually 5-6 riders gather every weekend and 10 riders at the most.
Started on pavement but the last part was icy.
After the pavement, we went in a logging road where there was much snow. It was not possible to ride so we pushed and pushed all the way to the peak of Mt. Nebiso about 4km...
Snow is deep. We proceeded while exchanging the leader.
The peak of Mt. Nebiso and my bike.
It was hard to come here. In contrast to sunny and no snow last weekend.
Usually down hill time starts from the top of the mountain but it is difficult to roll through due to the snow which is as deep as a hub of the bike. We were exhauseted, moreover a hot spring we usually go in is closed today. We chilled to the bones in the end.
