hit up Darrington for some snow! when the snow got too deep for comfort in the truck we strapped on some snowshoes and went for the top of the mountain on foot.

Great pictures.
I still have a trace of snow where I live.

Nice to see us get some snow down at the lower elevations, and more in the mountains to add to the snowpac.

Looks like you had a great time and breath taking views.

GranVille-4crawler Feb 27, 2011 07:15 AM

awesome man! nothin like some snow wheelin.

wifes4now Feb 27, 2011 07:21 AM

nice pics, looks like a good time :great:
looked pretty deep to be alone in!

kscanuck785 Feb 27, 2011 07:50 AM

breathtaking pics!!

Tofer Feb 27, 2011 08:02 AM

thats way deep for being solo.... cool shot but damn your nuts.

bobby_duce Feb 27, 2011 08:11 AM

amazing pictures! looks like a good time!

BajaRunner Feb 27, 2011 06:22 PM

What camera do you have?

n16ht5 Feb 28, 2011 07:01 AM

Thanks :) I have a Canon T2i.

RMA Feb 28, 2011 07:03 AM

dude nice pictures , great shots .. wow.. im with the rest your crazy going out in that deep of snow alone .. and without a winch.

Birdbrain Feb 28, 2011 07:54 AM

Yeah, want me to PM your number so you can wake me up at an unholy hour after digging for a few first trying to get out, so i can come get you? Never wheel alone, that's just plain stupid.

muddpigg Feb 28, 2011 07:21 PM

Sweet, pics are from a different side of the mountain than I usually see. Looks like a hella fun trip.

How far was the trek once you parked the truck to the turn around point?

White82 Mar 1, 2011 09:34 AM

I spent some time in Omak around Christmas and that sure does looks like Washington terrain! Great pics man, looks looks beautiful.

n16ht5 Mar 3, 2011 08:04 AM

thanks. yeah we snowshoed a few miles past where we parked, took most of the day. I wasn't worried about being the only rig.. I had service on my phone to call my friend if I needed to. I go out a lot by myself, I just make sure to let my wife know which road I head up in case I don't come back, she can call my friend to come pull me out. Never had to call anyone getting stuck in the snow though...

Killer pics!! :rockin: I would never go snow wheelin alone lol. I always prefer to have another vehicle along for the ride. I would at least have some tire chains haha.

On the plus side you had a buddy so if you got stranded you could spoon for warmth:) though you'll really wished you'd taken your wife instead of a bro;) I take my dog as long as I got him I'll never go hungry:)

Still say cool trip. I'd do it solo rig. Really your safety plan is very feasible, "party on Garth":banger::banger::banger:

Junkers88 Mar 11, 2011 08:32 AM

Just saw this and man is that amazing! I love some snow wheeling but I'd be too puckered up to get off the seat in snow that deep!

jpgordon24 Mar 14, 2011 10:32 AM

Those are some awesome pics. Def wouldn't go alone like that. You got some balls!

bigarms23 Mar 14, 2011 10:04 PM
