UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

nice. you've both lucked out and not lucked out with snow storms! (lucked because of snow, not lucky because driving). Enjoy your trip!

 

someone in Cedar is rocking a very clean green 3rd gen 4runner, passed them on the way to work on Tuesday. Wouldn't mind getting another look at that thing

 

We spent many years driving in the snow living in the foot hills of Colorado so hopefully our little AWD rental can handle it. If I post a Help!!!! Post in here Tuesday morning y'all will know it wasn't up to the task and I'll need a tow lol

 

Does anyone air down their tires during and/or after a storm?

I’ve thought about it, but never tried it.

 

I only air down off-road. If the snow is really bad I'll drive around in 4wd on the road (4hi). Especially helpful for non main streets. Might be a couple days before the plows pull thru..

 

Is anyone planning to attend the Outdoor Adventure X at Snowbasin in June?

 

LCC Canyon was closed at least part of the last 2 days for snow removal and avy management. With the hours of your inbound/outbound, you shouldn't have to worry about the infamous "Wasatch red snake" of ski traffic. Avy management might be an issue but the weather forecast looks like that won't be a major concern.

 

You aren't the first I've seen mention that event but have no idea what it is. Got some details?

Edit: Just found the website. Looks mildly interesting, curious to see the full details posted later.

 

This is what I'm hoping for

 

I think it’s the same expo they had at the fairgrounds a year or two ago. They had lots of vehicles and events, but I don’t think the turnout was great, so I’m guessing there going to try a new location.

 

There's plenty of us that would be happy to come help if you do get in trouble in your rental. Enjoy the skiing, gonna be a good weekend!

 

Appreciate it! Always hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

 

Saw this today while snowshoeing.

 

What could have devoured it?...Cougar/Mountain Lion?..

 

Coyote, badger, skunk, wolverine, eagle, raven...

It's my understanding that smaller animals go in from the anus and larger go in from the belly.

 

Id mark that spot and go find the sheds later on. If they stay on, itd make a cool euro mount.

 

Snagged a speedway blue bumper today for 60$
Found a cool spot on the drive back to cedar from St George too

 

Gotta report it to the DWR and they'll decide if it happened naturally or if it was poached.

also, shed hunting is closed to us legal humans, dont wanna end up with a ticket for doing it out of season, I know he was just snow shoeing, but still.

Probably winter kill honestly, could know more if you could see the neck/ face area.

 

By backyard a couple weeks ago:



Coyote picking at it:


And me helping the DWR guy drag it down the hill to where his winch could reach:

 

So much for the stock bumper going on.. snagged an All-Pro baja bumper today in Vegas for 160$. Just gotta fab in a winch mount and she’ll be good to go. Found this amazing road on the way back from vegas too
