Default Sunday snow wheeling day

Rhonda wanted snow wheelin.

So we started out going to Reiter and doing the Sac-up trail from the top down (backwards). Then headed up to the second radio tower past the Wall trail and found these views and this amount of snow




After that we headed down and did the Wall trail and after fixing all the valve stems due to them being frozen we went to Tonga Ridge which is past Skykomish, WA and off the Foss River rd. We got most the way up and found a 3/4 ton dodge truck stuck in a ditch and pulled him out, then went farther up but had to head back as Rhonda needed sleep for work last night.

We had tons of fun and would love to get a run going in this area.

That looked like fun!

The second video brings to mind the Soundgarden song, "Black Hole Sun".

How deep was the snow you were blazing a trail through? Any problems?

on the Tonga ridge video is was about 2' deep and RubyJeep (the red one) was starting to get high centered due to the skidrow engine/trans skid plate, It pushes the snow down and packs it.
