This is set to be a fun run. Glad to see everyone getting excited about our Annual Snow run.
My gut feeling is that with all the big boys breaking trail, and minimal new snow lately - we will all probably easily make it to the last deep tree section before the top\timberline area. Beyond that, I’m sure the wind will have blown in some giant drifts. Winch points up there are far and few between, which makes it tough, but I’m sure there are a few that will give it a go. We could also have some of the more confident winch equipped rigs pair up and try to explore some of the side roads for added wheeling opportunity’s. Just make sure to communicate real well. 146460 and CB channel 4 will be the primary channels for main group communication. Perhaps use another CB channel if you are in a smaller side group during your exploration since the frequencies will get busy.
Also, make sure the guy behind you sees you due to the numerous turns during the first part of the run.
It sure is nice knowing there are so many experienced club members coming. I will appreciate all the help and guidance with the recovery’s and stuff. But mainly with clear communication as to what’s happening as we go. Since they are typically people waiting and wondering what’s going on. Everyone take their time, have fun and listen to others suggestions during your recovery. The common challenge is of course to go fast enough with high enough rpm’s to carry though tough sections and yet not get slung into the trees due to the previous guys wild ruts.
I have a had a few guys PM me asking how they can help.
Let’s have Rudy and Brady helping line up and pre-stage rigs to head out in the morning. In fact when you first pull into the parking area, park near the west side if you want to be in the first 9am group. In general the larger more built rigs get the privilege of running closer to the front. In my experience is these days, 3\4 of the club members are well built and experienced. So if someone specifically wants to be closer to the front or run with the 9am group them let them (or myself) know.
Let’s make Marco tail-tail gunner, communicating when the last man is out.
I will be with the first group heading out to Beau Jo’s to make sure the Pizza in order. The quickest way out is down to Fall River Rd. via York Gulch Rd. I believe there is a York Gulch Street sign at this intersection on our main road a few miles from the cemetery. This can be an air up spot. From here, you can go back out the way we came via the cemetery or an alternate route out to Central City Parkway by a ghost town that Rudy and others know about. I say this because there are commonly sub groups heading down at different times and some people need to hit their trailer at the cemetery etc.
Here is a vid of me bustin' the drift at the playground a few weeks ago to get you stoked. I probably won't be doing this at the Snaw and Pizza Run. Courtesy TreeRoot's girlfriend.
