I can't make it this weekend so save us some snow for in a couple weeks.

Thanks for the information, I won't bother with chains then. I was just curious how many members ran them. I'm also a big fan of a lot of skinny pedal to get through snow. Just need to find some now.

Anybody in? I am going either way. Current plan is to meet up at the exit to saint Marys Alice just past Idaho springs and head up from there. Post up if you are coming so i make sure to wait for you!

I will be there. What time?

Does this look correct? "Take exit 238 toward Fall River Rd" Are you going to be waiting there?

NO plans that day so 10AM works for me. I will see you there. Wear a snowsuit!

Yes, finally someone bashing some snow!! Please get a drift or two for me!!!!


Oh and mandatory pics too.

Really airing down and keeping momentum will get you a long ways in the snow. HP helps some too! And clearance, and....

I'll have my GoPro mounted and hopefully have some good footage. I'm not the greatest cameraman though.

Anyone else joining us?

I am awaiting a response from my uncle about going. I would guess he is in right now but will post up when I'm sure. He is in his full size bronco with a solid axle conversion, 35s and locked front and rear. Should be a good trip!

Anyone else? Kirk??

My uncle just confirmed he is in! If you have looked outside in the last hour....we will be snow bashing! :-)

May not make it now, I got sick on Tuesday and haven't been able to pop the camper, I'll see what I can get done tomorrow and post up.

I just came down the mountain and the saint marys exit is dry. No snow atleast at I70. But i bet up by chinns/fall river res you will find some snow.

Still hanging on to this damn cold, going to have to pass and I rarely pass on wheeling trips, need to get over this thing.

Not going to make it. The truck is ready to go and I've been looking forward to it all week, but the wife managed to get the norovirus that's been running around our place for a couple of weeks. Have fun! Kirk, hope you're feeling better soon.

Early trip report...broke my front axle. It took me all of 15 minutes once I got on the trail. I was able to limp home without any trouble which was good.

Time to upgrade some components? =)

Really! You are only suppose to use a LITTLE skinny pedal not all of it!

We have all felt your pain. Took a truck that saw little to no offroad use, and start doing more serious stuff and the old parts that haven't been used go snap.

Make sure the ears on the shafts are good. The bad part about a u-joint break is it often takes out both axle shafts. Then you can damage the seal re-installing, which is not good. Can-o-worms...

Greg he'll learn when parts start breaking. Ive never broke much on my bronco but on my stang im on clutch #4 in 38k miles. You beat on them and parts go south.

Another one in the works? Snow will be gone soon!!

what do you mean gone? the total snow fall for this month alone is 23" double of the average march snow.

But yes when are we planning to go? How about 2 weeks? same deal as crawlercreations. head up fall river road to fall river and chinns lake?

My camper is off, let's go!

How about after the swap meet Saturday?

I wont have my bronco and landshark and myself are gonna work on his tune some.
