It would be nice to head out with you guys some time.

I have an 07 4 door Rubicon.
No lift, but it does have 35 12.50 15 BFG MT, with flat fenders.

Been looking forward to a snow run sometime.

Otherwise is there any weekly of monthly meets going on in town?

Thanks,
Chris
I don't know of any regular meets going on around the Portland metro area but that does not meen they aren't happening. As soon as mother nature cooperates and we get some fresh snow in the foothills, I am ready to make a snow run.

Lolo Pass off of Hwy 26 on the west side of Mt. Hood, Barlow Trail just east of Gov Camp, Memaloose on hwy 224 east of Estacada or Squaw mountain, 5-10 miles outside estacada on hwy 224 all get up over 4000' and can be good snow runs.

Awesome, much appreciated sir. I haven't been in Oregon very long so i'm still learning the surrounding areas. Will have to check them out.

Post up here when you want to make a snow run and maybe some of us can join you.

I have photos from each run on my SmugMug photo site here: http://tomwestphotography.smugmug.com/Hobbies

Default Snow Run

Hey gang, I am up for a snow run too. I thought about going this Wednesday, but the current forecast is for 15-21 inches at Mount Hood. Yikes! This is at Timberline, on the National Weather Service Website (heres the link).

So I thought about the weekend, but then I have to catch up on some stuff. How later this month? Or a Wednesday?

take care gang!

Weekend is best for me.

But I would take a Wed. off if others were heading out.
Not this week though.

Default Hello, new to this site.

Anyway if the forcast pans out looks like we all might be snow wheeling, soon.
