Myself, my son and Max did some wheelin yesterday. Had a great time! I was unable to make it up the sheet of ice (again) and needed to winch my way past it. Max had no issue and somehow cruised right up first try ;-/
My son didn’t try taking the Willy’s up and Max and I did the loop and came back down the big step without issues. Then we went and did Bunce and the sun was shining! However the farther out he deeper the snow and we came to another icy patch that Max cruised right up but I hit the ice and started sliding backwards again. Took another line and made it up, son hit the ice but second try got him up. Then a brand new JKU Rubicon joined us and took a while but finally made it up this slick spot also.
Then we cruised thru some deep snow sections to the gate and hung out. Heading back out my son got his Willy’s top centered in the deepest snowy section and I got myself stuck trying to turn around to help him. The couple in JKU pulled my son out and Max tugged me free... then my son got stuck again and Max pulled him free. We all made it back to trailhead no problem and aired up.
i got a few videos, enjoy!
