Kevin (outbkjack) suggested this in a thread below. I'm free the week after X-mas and believe so is Matt (with the Heap). Anyone intersted? What day (def. a day trip for me, and yes Kev i am afraid of the cold [Crybaby] )? Where (I think Eagle Lakes would be cool)?

I'll bring my sleds (disks) incase there's just too much snow...we can just sled instead. smile

BTW, this is a not the Praire City trip. I believe Ryan is planning that one for a weekend.

So anyone interested?

well hell if you are thinkin about a snow trip, then maybe we could plan a weekend trip up to my area. got a ski park, lots of places to sled, and even some good roads to drive around on. just a thought. although this is a pretty busy time of year in the tourest trap town. but maybe we could get something going in the beginning of next year!

This is a snow run, right? Not, a ski/snowboard trip like Polar Bear's talking about?

Mike... How about using your sick days wisely? laugh

It can be on a weekend... It's always some can make it, and others can't...unfortunately. [Freak]

Although this is my busiest time of year, if you are planing a snow trip during mid week, my vote would be for a Wednesday or Thursday. But then I know that probebly won't work for most of you.
It has been so long since I have been wheelin, I think I forgot want it is like. [Crybaby]
If you are planning a trip to Eagle Lakes, I could got out and scout it for you guys to see if it is even doable. Let me know

I'm interested. A day trip would work for me too, Tuesday the 28th sounds good.

How's about Foresthill area? How's the snow up there?

I just came back from Northstar yesterday and there's a lot of snow around Crystal Lake/Immigrant Gap/Eagles Lake.

Tues. the 28th sounds good to me too.
When I've been snow wheeling up in the Sierras, I usually have gone up Hwy 50 to the Sly Park Resevoir area. It is a good area for snow wheeling with a broad elevation range to choose from, and easy and fast to get to from Sacramento.

Ok let's simplify this. Dec 28th (Tues) since most people agreed to that date.

Where would our best bet be for a doable snow run?

Let's start an official sign-up and a vote for an area we want to try.

wentworth springs should be fun, but you'll probably hit a big wall of snow at the main road to loon lake. Here\'s the trail conditions page.

Have fun, wish I could make it [Crybaby]
