Look forward to seeing you there. Should be a good time. Hopefully we can get 10+ rigs to show up for this run. May also see a RZR or two.

Tried to add it to the official calendar, but it will not let me add 2015 to the date.

I guess I should get some gear then.

Well if you need an excuse, this is a good one:cheesy: The trail is really pretty easy and I don't expect much in the terms of issues, but better prepared than not. However, there will be plenty of rigs and no one left behind.

Sounding like there will be 10+ making this trip. ?????

I am at 10 right now with 2 maybes', 15 is probably the max I'd like to run on the trail, but it is possible to have a few more if need be.

Hell I'm the idiot that will go regardless... Just don't know what to expect new to the whole "wheeling" lifestyle. Pretty sure I'll/we'll be there unless uncles am says no.

It should be a good time and a great run for all levels. It will be fun.

Got my skids installed, so I might make this but it might be a game day decision because I have some family that might be in town. Stay tuned.

Definitely a cool trail...snow can be pretty deep in spots though. Best part everyone can get their picture
Taken going up the wall at the end. Fun. :thumb:

Been up there 3 times in the last couple of months and the snow has been good. It definitely a good run for all levels of experience. Just to give a little taste of the wall in snow.
