    To be fair, we weren’t able to finish it.

    I got the opportunity to complete the loop a few weeks ago and was actually surprised at how far we did make it though.

    True, we had to cut off and head up a different way shortly after the Pontiac if I remember right. That hill had the same issue that @DarthPow and I ran across on White Mountain not long after - bunch of ice underneath the snow that made it nearly impossible to climb

    When I went a few months ago, I had to get tugged over a portion a little before the pontaic and it was bone dry (#opendiff) haha I want to go back eventually and see if I can just maintain some momentum and hop over it I think I was just being a wuss lol

    @eon_blue yea, I meant to say I don't have *much* experience wheeling in the snow. Those were fun runs, even though we couldn't finish them... lol

    Sounds like it. :boink:

    I ran it open/open minus a section after the "rock garden" on Heartbreak. It was far more torn up than when we did our snow wheeling trip though. It's a fun trail. Technical enough to get you out of a comfort zone but not too much.

    The loop on Pontiac is surprisingly fun. We ran that at night. Was a good time.

    Don't feel bad, The Tug Life chose me also. @eon_blue and @Shmellmopwho were great about it though... #opendiff

    Definitely a funky little spot for an open diff, with some angry looking rocks on one side. We could have made it, but i didnt want to be responsible for spotting you into body damage haha

    I think your spotting was fine lol If i could have backed up another foot or so it definitely would have helped to get me to hop over it but OH WELL lol

    This was made so much more fun by the fact that I didn't have brakes during it.
