NorCal: Open Season on Snow (PIC HEAVY)

Took a fun snow trip to Bowman Lake with the Apples and their FJ40. We had a great time. We went sledding, met some cool people and a baby bear. We were driving on snow under 5k right before Poor Man Creek. From there it just got deeper. We were over 2ft deep at the summit of the trail at 6160ft. We had fun playing around, drifting and hammering on it, things you can't do on the trail itself without destroying it. I love SNOW! Let's me unleash my Redkneck and drop my right foot down.

So we made it. Always fun plowing up the west side on fresh powder! Same place where me, Downpour and Stokes pushed up early 13'. I'll let the Pics tell the rest of the story...


Stop for sledding


I wanna play!

Ryan's sick FJ40, so classy

No class, all bash


No more dirt!

Getting to deep, taking it to pound town!

That's his happy face :becky:

And just churning uphill in one SLOW steady pace to the top. 3rd gear in 4LO with rear diff locked at 4k RPM.



Breaking the Summit


Gotta love that 40!

Looks like a cool trip! I've always wanted to do a snow trip, but I'm in Houston Texas at the moment.

 

Now that looks like fun!

 

Thats a fun trail road. I used to go there all the time, cause i lived near North San Juan. Great camping at that lake.

 

Heading up to Ice House on Sunday. Can’t wait gonna be fun.
