Fantastic! Down hill on big tires can become an absorbing flow at the right 
speed for the radius of curves, road surface and grade, even on an MTB with 
bald fatties!  

Hard to say "wimping out' in the face of storms at that elevation where 
being a lightning rod is one thing but getting soaked in an location that 
still has that much snow sitting around is no better if not ready for being 
in it.
