Shoulder season. It’s the overlooked cousin of ski season and summer. Deep powder is right around the corner, so it could be tempting to simply wax your skis and count the days until the lifts start running, but I refuse to dismiss the next couple of months as nothing more than adventure purgatory. October, November, and much of December is prime mountain biking season as far as I’m concerned. Sure, the temperature is dropping and the end of daylight savings throws a wrinkle into the mix, but with the right layers and proper gear, you can make the most of shoulder season and shred dirt until the snow piles up in earnest.
