OK last winter I rode Rio in juniper in January and it was the craziest thing I have ever done it was so icy and slippery I would have never ridden it if I knew it was that slippery, we where sliding into trees and fell so many times i lost count. So if your gonna ride Rio I would suggest not to ride it in January.
