Default Four Corners Moab Trip - end of December?

If the weather cooperates, I'm considering a trip to Moab sometime during the week between Christmas and New Years.

Any interest in a Four Corners Moab Trip?

Actually I used to live there and it is a lot of fun in the snow if you know where to go! Moab is good in any weather in my opinion

What trails should we consider in the snow?

I'm guessing something wide open and easy. Reports on another forum state that they're getting snow and northern and eastern slopes should be avoided.

One of my favorites in the winter is Onion Creek if it is cold enough the river freezes over several times (making it bigger) and creates big ice waterfalls and pools of water that are really fun to play on in a Jeep. Bull canyon was fun as well in the snow and ice but they closed that now. Poison spider is fun in the snow as well as long as the first swicth backs dont have to much ice.

another cool place is Spring canyon, this one is really amazing. not much hard wheeling but some amazing things to see.

If you want a lot of snow and some really fun and deep snow you go up the pack creek ranch road and it goes up a side road up the mountian.

I think it is going to depend on what you are comfortable with and who you talk too for a opinion on this one, I see a lot of people make a lot of statements about places they hardly know so you have to be careful about who you listen too.
I lived there for 7 years and have been going to moab almost every month for my entire life so I can say I know just about every trail out there I think, I could even show you where some bank robbers hid out for awhile after robbing a bank in colorado around 15 years ago. I accidently found there camp while I was out exploring in the middle of nowhere.
