so as the title says, it snowed. i live about an hour north of Everett and am willing to drive down there. i have tomorrow off and am ready to have some fun, and this weekend as well if all the snow will still be here. is there anyone that has lived here long enough to know how long the snow will be here?
anyway i would like to have a get together in everett or something, only thing is i am fairly new to the place so i dont have a wheelin spot in mind. i was hoping that some one would chime in a suggest somewhere, then we can go wheelin!
so whos in? and who has a spot to go?

trans-am, sorry I missed your message.
The day run was kind of a bust. We all got there about 10am and hit the trails around 1045, when we got there, there was about a good foot of snow on the ground. We tried the trail that goes up to the main rock pit and after the first guy made it up (tubed tj on 40's and d60's) the rest of us just got to a point and slid back down the hill. So we decided to bypass this trail and head over to upper mainline. We didnt have much more luck there. The snow was nice if you were first up, but as soon as you drove on it, it turned to a very slick icy mess. 2 of the rigs left early due to breakage and the rest of us, hammered on to only make it to the spot where upper main line splits and you can go to the right to go up the rock face.
Yes thats right, we spent the whole day out there and we barely made it half way up upper mainline
Any and all hills each vehicle had to take multiple runs at. Most of us got good at the end of the day what the best tactic was with the throttle. Air pressure was a constant fight. Most of us started around 8psi and slowly kept dropping as the day went on, once I filled back up, I was down to 2 psi.
I love running walker, but that day kicked all of our butts.
heres a glimpse into what our day was like
