For those of us in the Pacific Northwest that are used to snow-free trails year-round, this past winter has been especially challenging. With multiple massive storms dumping lots of rare lowland snow we were greeted by an unusually white winter. Not to be outdone by Ma Nature, Roscoe the dog made sure to keep his human in check by dragging her out for rides whenever possible. At 8 years old his rides are getting shorter and shorter, but his stoke as the ultimate trail dog has never waned. Turns out, snow biking is actually quite fun, especially at midnight with your best buddy in tow.

 I went to the shelter to adopt a trail dog, but disappointingly couldn't find any enduro breeds. So, I just got a trail+ and plan to extend the travel on his front legs.

 To extend that travel, just feed him with good protein + lots of love & care Wink

 The burlier DH breeds are really good as well but they can be expensive. It can be a pain in the ass getting them up a hill (usually they will only ride in a truck) as they are typically heavier set, but they love to jump high and never fail to leave a big smile on their owner's face. Much love to the DH dogs.

 I've got an old 26" lab. He really doesn't roll as fast as the new dogs.
  • 20
 @BoiseID5point5: Yep, those 26's labs are prone to extinction man. Today's dogs are those new 27.5 pointers or even better those big wheeled 29 Saint Bernards, big but lazy!. Those are the real MaCoy dude!

 You probably walked right past the lefty Frankendog at the shelter too. Poor thing. Everybody just points, stares, then keeps on walking.

 @aoneal: There are those French Burldogs. Although don't look like heavy-hitters, they are very versatile thanks to adjustable geometry - just need to feed them more than you should to increase their diameter, then they roll exceptionally well when pushed down the hill... (just kidding, don't neg me! I wouldn't do any harm to those cute little doggies...)

 @ulis: I've got one of those new 170mm travel, 27.5 border collies, a 2016 model. She can climb just as well as you can descend, doesn't need 200mm because she's so planted, boy can she huck though! Two years without needing any new parts is also a bonus!

 @IntoTheEverflow: I feel a little silly that I had to ask but I just kept wondering if it could be true.

 I was on a road bike ride in eastern New Mexico when I found a border collie lying on the side of the road. She has been with me the past 9 years and is the ultimate trail dog! BTW awesome video!

 Are you sure it wasn't southern New Mexico? What with her being a border collie.

 Nice vid! Olive is now 8 and slowing down a bit, but loves the trails. I reckon l'll save our old Burley trailer so I can get her up on the hill someday when her endurance has left. Thanks for sharing the vid!
