Finally Got To Get Into Some Snow

[grampadirt]

About 15 miles up our canyon there are some mountains capable of snowfall.A couple of friends and I decided to investigate the fire roads for snow,well we found some.In some places it was 10''-12'' deep.My friend just bought a Dodge HD 2500 4X4 and wanted to see how it was in the snow...FUN as was my burb.Neither of us had any problem driving thru the white stuff.Here a few pics and one short little video of our day.......grampsdriving in the snow a short little video

It was,I just hit the gas and the ole burb just took off.The good part is the Thermal Actuator for the front axle never dis-engaged,it was gnarly and a blast

Even the guys in CALI have more snow than I do...

 

Looks like fun, I'm jealous.

Boy, I hope Dan sees this...the fact that Southern California has more snow that NJ....

 

And I see that he already has...

Great pictures! Looks like you guys had some fun.

 

I had been curious if anyone from here had been out in the mountains over there. I've been watching the UCLA Dept of Physics & Astronomy webcam, up on Mt. Wilson, for the last couple of days. Looks like they got some snow down that way, too.

Here's a picture from out one of my office windows a few minutes ago.

I checked out your pic full size,man that's gorgeous,don't know if you know but alomst all our TV and radio stations have their transmitting towers at Mt Wilson.As I'm typing here the mountains around me are getting hit hard with snow,all of the passes are closed and no idea when they'll open again.

Lets do it!

 

I'm actually going to the Catskills (not canada, but about halfway there) this weekend to go skiing, and it's supposed to be snowing. Nothing better than a 3+ hour drive in the snow.

Cool pics! Thanks for sharing.

No shit! You're the only person outside of my family that I've talked to that's skied Belleayre. Definitely my favorite mountain. The runs are pretty short, but it's a wide mountain, which means a lot of trails, and not a shit-ton of people on any particular trail. The longest I've ever had to wait in a lift line was 15 minutes, and that's because someone fell off the lift.

 

I skied one day at Hunter, and didn't really like it. Too many people, and the layout of the mountain wasn't very logical. I also took a trip to Killington last year, and only got to ski one day (tore my meniscus on my way back to the lodge since it was dusky and blizzarding). Just got cleared by my surgeon to ski about 3 weeks ago, I'm a little nervous about going out there again.
