I've been trolling youtube and found some cool snidbits of Jump Off Joe look-out. The vids have it at two different locations: Naches and Rimrock lake. Has anyone been there, could my set-up pull it off, and when can we go?

 

I've vowed to not take my jk to rimrock until its paid off. It's that narrow!

 

Well then, where's another good snow place to cut my teeth on?

 

just forest service roads to Jump off Joes,that area can get a lot of snow, it is located above Rimrock lake on the east end

 

Tonga Ridge and Iron Goat Trail near Skykomish are good but they don't have enough snow to be interesting yet. Here's a pic from Tonga ridge New Years day 2012

 

Nice! When do you think the accumulation will be good enough for a trip out?

 

Thanks, I'll have to look it up.

 

X1000 do not mess with Rimrock Lake! I used to run my YJ up there, back in the day. Über sketchy trails, tight twisty and off camber as f*ck!!!

 

I'm so jealous of you guys. I hate you all.

 

That would require predicting the weather! Top of Tonga is 4300ft so it won't be long, but there isn't much snow there now. Snow at Steven's Pass is a good indicator. Hmmm just checked it and there is 9in which is more than I thought. That would be enough to be interesting depending on conditions.
