CO: Yankee Hill snow run (pics, vids)

My second snow run in as many weeks was with a group of 4 other 80-series this past Sunday, the 28th. I represented the 4Runner (and IFS) contingent. This run was a blast and very cool, pun intended as it was 9 degrees with a wind. It was a last minute decision on my part to join this run, otherwise I certainly would've given a heads-up here, and assuming the group wouldn't have minded some other 'Runners going along. I got stuck twice and pulled out others a good 7 times or better. The snow was deep in places and we made fresh tracks in others. I'm really diggin' these snow runs!

Some pics:

Look at that shine!







Pretty deep stuff here as I pull Robbie out



Video #1: Cruiser with V8 Caddy plowin' through the snow (3.4 MB)

Video #2: Not going anywhere for awhile?! (3.8 MB)


Here's my full report, with many more pics and a number more fairly cool vids:

Nice pics Darren! I would like to try some snow runs sometime. Now, all I need is snow or another trip out west.

There is something about an 80-series...
