Denver area New Years Day Run

It was brought up to me about a New Years Day run, I thought it was a good idea, so I thought I would see if anyone else would be interested ?
Since the New Year starts on a Monday, we could do a New Years Eve run, either way, post up if you would be interested.

I want to go!

Unfortunately, I don't know many trails around here. There's a guy on TTORA that's going to be visiting CO with his FJ that wants to 'wheel too, but he doesn't have sliders (lifted, etc but no armor)

i dont visit TTORA anymore, but i think i know who your talking about, hes on the FJ site, something about starting at noon, but cant remember where they are going ?
Yankee is always fun in the snow, and we just ran Carnage, i know Brandi wanted to run something, and maybe Doug, we will see.
coming back from KC, where the temp was warm, and NO snow, i need to wheel, lol open for suggestions.

welcome Jay, heres what i posted on the FJ forum:

thankx for the update, if your planning on doing a run, id suggest running Yankee Hill its not a hard trail, but with snow, makes it really fun, and your not going to slide off of a mountain, lol, and theres always Crnage in Boulder, with the snow and ice, seems to make it a little easier, just suggestions.
I`ll wheel just about anythingm as long as 4LO is used, lol

Either of those sound good to me - I've never done Yankee Hill. I would imagine Crystal/Moody will be closed by then.

Man, I should really bookmark that Forest service site that tells the condition of the seasonal gates...

Wish I could go, but I will be in Glenwood with the wife.

The Rising Sun hard core guys will be up Yankee Hill New Years Day, so look for them. We will be doing our Annual Snow and Pizza run up the on Jan. 7th (lots of rigs).

I think the snow will be hard and difficult, with sugar underneath - let us know how it goes.

not sure if we are gonna have enough people willing are able to make this, I just talked to Chris, and he is on his way back from Texas, with a moving truck and an RX-8 so they will probley get stuck somewhere along the way, havent heard from John, so I may just go play pulling people out.
