    I’m actually headed up today in about an hour. It was a pretty last minute idea before heading back to work lol. If your up for it I probably won’t start the trail until after I get some coffee and breakfast.

    From Big Bear a few weeks ago back on the Green Valley Lake side, 3N16/14 I believe.

    Was a lot of snow from the storm the week prior and also a lot of snow melt.

    An easier faster way up to Big Bear is thru the High Desert thru Lucerne Valley and up Hwy 18

    I was there yesterday, I got a ton of footage. I’m trying to edit all the video footage but it’s a little hard with work. I’ll try getting it all done within the next 2 days or so. It’s pretty long so you should be able to get a good idea of what the trail is like.

    But it was real easy, the truck did slide a bit in a few areas that were iced out. I did see a subaru STI up there. Crazy bastard. I guess if a car can do it, shouldn’t be an issue for us.
