02-01-14 - WA - Lookout Snow Run
 

Went up for a run to the lookout.

Started off not thinking there was going to be much snow. By the time we hit the gate it was getting nice and deep though

The snow had a breakable crust about 7-9" down, so we aired down to 3psi. I later let all of my air out

I let all of my air out. The MT's are super stiff.

I drove until I hit gravel at 0 psi, and started peeling the bead off the inside driving on bare road. When I went to air up had a bit of an ordeal getting the tire to take air. Some starting fluid and Matt's higher pressured OBA got it going though and made it home. Later in the evening I went and picked up a set of 37x12.50 BFG KM2's. I think they should work a bit better in the fluff. The Goodyear MT's just have ridiculously thick sidewalls :con:

Very nice pics and story.

Be nice to get that kinda snow here in WV..

Awesome pics. Sure looked like fun, nothing like that around here.:-(

Awesome I've always wanted to go up north to see the landscape like that.

Great pics! Looks like a good time!

That's incredible! I wish we had a place to go and scenery like that!
