No i didnt air down it was a last minute decision to go up so i didnt even think about it. I figured getting stuck would all be part of the fun my all terrains did ok they wernt the best but i was suprised how good i was doing compared to the deep snow i was in. In some places there was snow coming over the hood and my traction was just fine usually

Nice snow pics!

I wish it snowed here. It was just cloudy and about 25 degrees.

It rained a few hours before it got dark though, so at least we have some ice to look forward to in the morning.

here is a couple of our run to the knik glacier. not much snow accumulation cause the wind sweeps it all away at -20! good scenery though:

not hard core wheeling cause my rig is still being rebuilt but here is a quick exploration trip, oh yeah and the end section we are parked and having a fire on a glacier, there is global warming for you:flipoff2:






surprisingly we have not had much snow yet, i am still waiting for the big dumps to start happening for the fun wheeling.
