Tj, looks like you know the area well so I'm looking for your advise. What two trails would you suggest to run. Other than trail damage rating I have no idea what would be best this time of year as far as difficulty and snow making obsticals unpassabe in a stocker. I have good tires and 2" lift, but no winch. I want to plan a run for 2/12. I hope there is still a 2/19 run but I think I am going to have visitors and won't be able to go. The more runs the better. I plan on meeting at the fire station like you said at 9:00am and the up to the trails. Thanks Chris

Chris I am well experienced with this area as well.
Of the 4 gultches in that area Mettberry would be the best option for a stack rig this time of year.
The only place I could see an issue would be the slab.
If it's got any ice or snow it will be very tough.
It get sun most days so should be cool.

The loop TJ mentioned would good as well.
Cedar mt. rd is easy we rarely use 4x4 on it.

All set up! Feb 19th! I'll also post on the planned trail runs. Thanks for your patience everyone, work is demanding sometimes and takes away all my fun time, and thanks for all the help, seems like a great community of enthusiasts here!

Along with what Brandon said, on the west side of Cedar Mtn. rd Trail 201 is a good route to take down to gem mines and creek crossings. Only one hill climb where folks have trouble with the snow. I also noticed that Cedar rd, where it starts by the fire station has around a inch or two of snow but as soon as you hit around 8700 in elevation is gets to be around 8-12" in depth. A good run would be from the fire station up Cedar, down 201 , back up 201, then take 360A down to Trail creek(200) Then up 364 to 366. Brandon is correct in saying that it is all 2wd stuff BUT, in the snow it's quite different. Some of the North facing areas of Lonwater and Metberry are still a little deep in snow but passable. I , as of now am open the 12th if you would like some company up there. My 3rd gen does have a rear e-locker and a winch, and I could be a good guide
