Here are a few pics from the “Work sucks, let’s have a snow run instead of working” snow run. :)
So, who’s Jonesing for the next hypothermia run? Guess what, Tinkham Rd has been reopened after the pit!!!

And finally back down the mountain where Ian waits for the flatbed to load up his non-XJ. :)

We made it past the upper gate, unless you are talking about the Water Shed gate as being the upper gate. The snow was very dry on the top layer (4") and then compacted wet snow for the rest (12").
 
you guys don't know how jealous a tennesseean is! i love snow wheelin! we might get a decent dusting once every 3 or 4 years:(
one day, i will wheel in balls deep snow. i'm coming to colorado and utah next year, but it'll be in june, so i guess i'll miss out on this stuff.
 
For many of us, Winter wheeling is the most enjoyable season!!

Rich, I consider the water shed gate the upper gate. So, I assume you guys made it to the gravel pit area and didn't go beyond there, correct?
Any tracks at all other than yours?

I don't know if you have been up there since mid-summer, but the gate near the railroad trestle was moved to where the pit is and was locked the last time I was up there but we took a chance anyway. Luckily it was open and we made it within about a ¼ mile from the water shed gate, blazing a new trail the whole way.
 
can i go on a snow run with no front gears or axle shafts?


think of my rig as a underpowered, solid axled, leaf sprung Trophy Truck! :laugh3:
 
With the way you drive I think you'll still have a good run before you get owned. ;)
 
i cant wait for the hypo run! im gonna try to make it this year finally.

what day did you guys head up to naches? we (eldorado dust devils) headed over the naches trail on saturday morning and spent all day over there.
 
did you guys run the kaner (676) trail up to the rocks?
 
o cool. we tried going all the way up the 676 and through the lilly ponds to get up top but there was too much snow and it got too slick
