EHow.com has some good How To’s for us Mountain Bikers. And in keeping with Tim’s snow blogging here is a snow How To.

If you live in a place where winter brings snow, you probably wonder if it means an end to mountain biking season. The answer: no way.

Steps:
1. Prepare your bike for winter conditions - see “Prep a Mountain Bike for Winter,” under Related eHows.
2. Choose the proper tires. The knobbier they are, the better traction you’ll have.
3. Move your weight to the back of your bike as you approach the snow. The more you can weigh down your rear tire, the better traction you’ll have.
4. Shift into a low gear to make pedaling easier.
5. Lift your front wheel off the ground just before you hit the snow.
6. Keep your momentum and continue to pedal the entire time you are in the snow - especially if the snow is deep or soft.
7. Brake early. Your brakes won’t work as well in cold weather as they do when it’s warm.
8. Watch out for slippery sections and try not to brake when you hit ice.
