How far up did you get. There is still so much snow up high many trails are still closed.
We headed up towards Wheeler Lake and did not get to Bowling Ball hill.

We got about 500 or so yards past French Creek. There was a fallen tree on the trail and we just did not have the time to winch it out of the way. Snow was starting to become an issue so I don't know how much further we could have made it.

Yeah it was great, except when I got stuck on French Creek on the way up and on the way down. It is not friendly to Unlimiteds. On the way down I had to be winched from the front and the back at the same time to rotate me out of trouble.

Your siganture doesn't say how high your lift is.

I didn't make it as far up as ya'll, but do you think my set up would make it thru French Creek. That looks like a blast!

I hope so! Your set-up looks like it should conquer anything on the planet
