That is just an awesome photo Mike. I'm grinnin' ear to ear just
thinking about how much fun that must have been.

Way to teach your children...

That's awsome! Although I think it would be more fun on a bike cos you
could get way more speed then crash in the snow...then become
paralised...

Doesn't the cold damage the metal?

The cold doesn't hurt, it might thicken your grease, but beyond
that...

Besides, that isn't cold, most likely near the freezing point.

That is a ton of fun! How long has she been riding?

Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving in a
pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly
used up, totally worn out, and loudly declaring, "WOW what a ride!"

Andrew

Thanks, yea she has ridden a 24". She has grown quite a bit this
winter, so the 24" is definetly her size now.

As you know, experiences like this one are the greatest when
accomplished with your kids, and yes I was grinnin' as well. She had
been bugging me to take her down the ski hill, but it kept snowing.
This was our last chance, closing day, so we went for it, powder and
all. Turns out the powder made it epic!

She had the goggles attached to the helmet, but never over her eyes.
Good observation.

I think it is because the big emphasis these days in uni is trials. If
more people pushed uni just to "ride", and get out, stay in shape, and
enjoy the outdoors, you might see more girls doing it.

Thanks to all else who replied with the kind words, the pic is just too
good not to share. I will share one more, not as good, but it is father
and daugther together. Cheers

Depends, if the temperature drops below the fracture toughness
transition temperature it becomes quite easy to break metal, the
transition temperature varies greatly from one material to another but
I have certainly tested steels where it is around only - 5.5 C. With
more normal steels used in production i think it's a fair bit lower
though, nothing to worry about with a uni. In the second world war the
"'Liberty Ships' (http://tinyurl.com/kraor)" produced by the US
famously would crack in half in the night due to a high transition
temperature due to the amount of sodium (i think) that was present in
the low grade steel used. (and also the welded rather than riveted
construction, but that's another story)

Actually, Mike, that second photo is even better in many ways. Truly a
standout shot in my opinion!
