Holiday snow wheelin anyone?

[RockyMtRebel]

Oh, and I bought a handheld CB radio!! I was sick of all the problems I had with the Cobra handheld all-in-one CB I was using previously. Sometimes it worked, most of the time it didn’t transmit well. Hopefully this handheld CB does the trick, no wires to mess with for power!

[RockyMtRebel]

We are getting some snow.... just a couple inches so far but it’s coming down pretty good right now so maybe we will get a good amount

[Jim]

Are you thinking maybe not? Or that there might be too much snow? If Yankee might be a bust or on the margin (a very short day), I might be more interested in a closer-to-home trail (Yankee is 2 hr drive).

I might have one other, new, jeep joining...

I live in Black Hawk and we didn't get that much snow.

I’m thinking a full day tomorrow Jim! Let’s try Yankee hill and see how far we get, then we can explore some other roads to see what they look like - I’m definitely not suggesting a short day . I’ve been holding off all week so I can’t wait to get out! Here in Allenspark we got about 3-4 inches. Better than nothing!

Yankee is over an hour drive for me but I can’t think of any other area that could be as much fun - and I don’t think we will see too many others being a Wednesday! If we don’t get that far I think we could head north on Apex and see now far we can go up that way! Hopefully we can make it to the top of Yankee hill itself, perhaps the snow covering the iced up sections will help give us more traction..... Ive run up there many times in the middle of winter and sometimes the ice stops everyone well short, but sometimes you can get all the way even in the middle of winter. Can’t wait to find out what tomorrow looks like!
Jayson, would love to have you join us if you can

[Jim]

K. I'll be there!

FoCo has 2 - 3"

Meeting at 10 at the OHV lot

[speedkills]

Worst case I don't mind a little winching. Hoping not to have to put my chains on if I can avoid it though but I'll bring them just in case.

[speedkills]

Only slightly related but I did Bunce today with a friend who brought his Quigley 4x4 E250 van out. That thing was super impressive but it was quite slick today and a lot rougher and icier than last time I did Bunce. Wonder if Yankee hill will be the same?

[RockyMtRebel]

I’m bringing chains also but hope to not have to use them. Hoping the fresh snow up there will make it more “grippy”. See you tomorrow

[jayson44]

I have a work meeting from 10-10:30, so I might have to come catch up with you guys. but I'm pretty sure I'll make it out there for a few hours at least.

moose PM'd me and is considering joining - but was asking if it would be good for him to join (vehicle type). I said yes, it's more of the attitude to try. If nothing else, he or anyone other one person could jump in with me.

I'll bring traction boards, kinetic recovery rope, and two sets of chains for 35's. We'll see what's needed...

[jayson44]

I'll have my traction boards and a tow strap as well. and a shovel. always a shovel! I haven't gotten my CB installed yet, so here's my cell if you guys need anything until I get up there: 720-266-8505.
