was an o.k. trip. nothing to spectacular. just me n Terry showed up. Hit snow finally at about 2700'. got pretty deep about 3500', but it was raining and warm so what was left of the snow was melting FAST ! kids were cold, wet and hungry. sledding in slush sucked. threw my back out that morning before we left, which made things even more enjoyable. turned around just before the towers. i'll post a few pics in a bit.

Heading up
found some slush :yelclap:
:dunno:
cold, wet, n miserable. . . . but smiling !
Dogs had fun atleast
well atleast 2 of em did....
We both made sure my winch was still in good working order
couldn't help but get our shoes muddy at least once
i shoulda been spotting instead of filming on this one. Damn near popped the bead on both rear tires at the same time. "rock n a hard place" ?

first off i would like to blame my gears for that last video. if thay were lower and i could go slower i could have crawled right up the root on the left and had no issues. thats my story and im sticking to it.
amazingly enough i wasnt late that morning. in fact, i was a good 45 min early. at least my doggies were ready before i was
just the 2 of us
all day took finess
snow half way up the gate. that gate is a ways off the ground too.
stuck
yup, the winch still works. stand tall little Jeep.
one last effort to show me how much my gears suck.
thats all i got. it was a short day but a fun one none the less. lets hope the snow comes back in a timely manor.

It isn't the gears it's the tire pressure.

Agreed.
I always saw everyone running 20-25psi on all those snow runs we went on.
I usually ran around 8-10psi, and had 33's with the factory 3.55's and open diffs. It's all in the tires & pressure.

for the record my gauge did not agree with Karls. i ran mine down to 10ish then did the rest by sight untill i saw "the bulge" . i think with the melting slush zero psi still would not have helped much. Terry for the most part did fine untill he was pinched between the 2 stumps. tire pressure made no difference there.
