    I noticed people who had chains on but where stuck on the shoulder of the incline. They where most likely trying to do 50mph with chains on and broke them.

    A few abandon cars up there but we didn't have any problems. Black ice under all the snow though

    Plenty of snow back Salmon La Sac though! Made it to the lake at the end of the main forest service road going in.. We were the first trucks, only snowmobiles before us. Ill see if I can find many pics..

    The locker anytime took all of 10 minutes to do. Just have to get the relay and have the connectors and its quick and easy.

    i havent done the ABS one yet mostly cause i want to do it fancy and have a otrattw switch for it.

    So the standard for the first real snow over the pass.

    Friend told me it was windy and they closed the upper lifts today. Looking at the telemetry it might be more of the same for tomorrow. Just an FYI.

    Im still waiting a little longer for a better base then Ill be going up plenty! Got hurt a few years ago from skiing in low snow (hit a rock)

    Looks like a fun time! In the last pic, is it the camera angle, or does the land cruiser have gigantic tires?

    Sheeee it! Monsters! Well, wifey bought me SCS SR8s for Xmas, so it'll be 285s I think, which means CM chop ( again, dont say I told you so B) :rolleyes:
    Also thinking while I have the skids off, I'll pull the sway bar and see how the road manners are. I'm betting that with my 700 lb springs, it may be ok for my commute.
