The Annual Rising Sun Snow Run Saturday February 11, 2023 Yankee Hill

I took the day off Thursday and did another casino night with a girlfriend and run up Yankee Hill. Snow conditions were good with the added snow all the way up. Not as icy as a month or so ago. The main way up was pretty easy all the way to what I call the glacier\drift at timberline. Spur roads on the way up were not traveled, including the playground - so those should be fun. Barley made it thru the glacier drift. Front locker was just enough to get me thru it at the end. Couldn't quite make to the tip top of Yankee Hill. A little snow and rocks on the steep hill held me up. Got stuck once above the glacier coming down while playing around - see pic. It sure doesn't look like I'm stuck. The snow up top is extremely hard\windblown and instantly hangs you up. Had to winch out. Lower down it's softer and will be fun to bust open new spurs with others.
Sam from stay the trail told me there is a sxs group up there today and he will get back to me about trail conditions

@DomOfTheDead - it looks like there's one more slot left in this run. I'm going to switch to this one (vs the intro run) if there is still room for me. Please let me know!

@DomOfTheDead I'm a strong maybe. I'm getting slammed with homework this week. It might be a good idea to find an alternate TG. I'm knocking out homework but these damn papers are killing me. I'm 75% sure I can make it but I just don't want it to be super last minute in the case that I cannot make it.
I don't understand why I need to write all these 8 page papers on something that can be done in 4 pages or less....
Cheers,
Angelo

Yeah that stuff is so lame. I don't miss school. My industry also has some pretty stupid arbitrary stuff for certifications that drive me nuts as a trianer.
@DomOfTheDead I can gun if Angelo can't show up.

Looks like you're up! I got mid terms and need to do homework and study...
Sam from Stay the Trail told me last weekends sxs group was really small and they didn't go very far up the trail.
I won't be able to pick up our breakfast burrito order until 7:45 in Golden so I might be showing up around 9. Upon arrival, we will distribute said burritos, have our drivers meeting, air down my 80 and roll out.
Looking forward to seeing all your smiling faces and having a good day!🤘

@DomOfTheDead i have a sick wife and kid. It’s looking pretty unlikely I’ll be there in the morning.
Pretty bummed since it looks like a great group and significantly larger than the Bill Moore run in the fall I attended.
Cheers all

Well I'm out for lack of preparation. Finally got the doors unfrozen and I have a dead flat battery. Didn't think a week was too long to let the 80 sit.... Have a great time everyone. Stupid ice.

Just wanted to say what a great time I had on my first trail run with Rising Sun. Most importantly, everyone was so welcoming and rad. Thank you!
Here’s a short video I put together from the top of the trail. Have more pics to share later.
