Note to all: Don't watch Jeep roll-over videos. Especially one's shown off-camber in the snow before you go on a possible snow run

I'd post the vid but superstition is getting the best of me..

I just hate to back out 2 runs in a row

...but also don't want to make a 3 hour drive for a 100 yards of wheelin' lol

The only other trail off the 4 is Corral Hollow since I think Deer Valley is still closed

I think after this weekend it's the last of the rain. Looking at the forecast afterwards it looks like much higher temps for that area to burn through that powder.

hmmmmmm....

I really want to see how the new set up works and I really need to get away form the house for the day. I say lets go and see what happens.
