I love the snow!

I'm already committed on Presidents' Day weekend (2/13-15), so the 2nd half of the month works best for me.

I've pulled out many people thinking they could take the short cut through Iron Mountain road. Sure the GPS shows it connecting, if they didn't mind waiting (until the snow was all gone). The guys in that brand new Audi found out that one night was enough for them.

Anyone interested in going to Iron Mountain this weekend?
Ya, your right on getting thru. We want to wheel in snow, and that place rocks to try and go as far as you can. If he wants to go snowboarding at Kirkwood he will have to go around. BTW I can go any day in Feb but the 20th. If that works, great if not I will change things.

I have a snow run driving up my driveway :P

I guess I have never really given much thought to a snow run, since I live in the stuff. But it could be fun

Default Snow Run

There is a road to get to Pipi off of HWY 88, or several other roads. Good snow wheeling, that is if there is snow around 5,000 ft. I had a chance to stay in that area for 3 days. yep didn't m,ove far just stayed in one place. This time I think I'll go with a few more rigs this time. Post up when ya want to set it up.

Jeff, we will be going in off of Hwy 50/Sly Park Rd Exit (Pollock Pines area). Go right on Sly Park Rd, go down Sly Park Rd till you see the lake on your left. Then make a left on Immigrant Gap Rd (Aka Iron Mtn Rd). We won't be able to go all the way to Hwy 88. Even though the road actual does. The snow is so deep at the top and your right they normally close the gate just before Hwy 88. The road is something like 30 mile long. Unploughed! Normally you will be locked in 4wd before you get halfway. If we can get above North/South Rd after the storms we are having now, I will be impressed. Thats just above 2/3 way. Then it gets deep. That is the locals spot to go snow wheeling. You will see lots of stuck 4WD's. Hopefully not us!
