It was Jeff, Brad, Riley (sp?), and I today. I was surprised that even with the snow and the 4-6 rating on the trail we were able to make it all the way to the top of the mountain. Storm Drain was closed by the forest service but it looked like they closed it just because some trees had fallen.

Here's the felled trees. I wonder if it would be a good idea to take a chainsaw up and clear the trees? Maybe the forest service would reopen the trail?

On the way down the snow stopped and we got a better view of where we were. I like how the light makes the clouds pop out.

Some lighting that's unique to places such as Colorado

We crammed 4 of our rigs in parking spaces made for three just for the heck of it. Penelope's is in the background for you Ric. BTW they close at 5PM on Sundays. We got there at 5:45pm :(

I'm working on the vids now but they won't be finished uploading until tomorrow morning. I love wheeling. Come rain, shine or snow. We're out there!

Cool video! All that sliding around looks a little scary. Theres something about snow wheeling that adds another level of awesomeness.
 
With all these beautiful pictures I am seriously considering my cousins invitation to go visit them in Colorado...

Awesome pics!
 
Man! thats great a great vid, you guys are brave going out when its that slippery! I need to get some sliders and bumpers so I can go out with you on a day like that.
 
that white 3rd gen doesnt have sliders or bumpers! You'd be fine!
Haha Yeah, just don't hit anything ;)

We went on another run today. The white 3rd gen you mentioned got a little kiss from a big rock he was crawling over. The rocker and pinch got a little paint scratched but that's about it. I'll post up the vid in a new thread when it's done uploading on youtube.
