Had a great time today! Trails were a little slick but not as bad as I thought they would be. Had to use the lockers and the winch a few times.

Brooke got some videos I'll try to post up, and some picks from other people in our group.

Over all a good day. Good to see some of the NEXterra crew again and to meet some new guys.

Yeah it was awesome. You guys know how to treat the newbies. I appreciate it. Great time!!

Any Pics. yet Guys?

The ice was bad. It was 3 or 4 inches thick and frozen mud was built up around all the puddles. We ended up turning around.









We didn't make it up this one. It was just too slick.


The green group . I think they all had a good time. It was icy but we stuck to the easy stuff. Me and my boys had a great time as always.


A really nice Montero trying to make it up the playground on top of Power Line.


Tomsredx attempting the same spot. He did make it and unfortunately I didn't get a shot of it..

thats lot of snow, looks like a blast !

Great pics.
Wow, it does look slick out there.
the broken Ice does suck, I remember people getting beat up with it last winter.
hopefully we will still have some snow for the 12th.

Very slick and cold.
Jus, Kyle and I went to the West and ran a virgin "13". It was great. I got hung up once and had to winch off a boulder I had slid onto but otherwise no trouble. We did "19", "23"and "18". Kyle ran the "Black"section but I backed out after getting hung up just a few yards into it. Jus had to give me a bit of help to get out and although I've run it before I got a bad vibe and decided to bypass it. Yeah, yeah I know; pussy...
We stopped for some lunch and then went back to the east. We ran "2"and lucky for me I missed the turn at "Pole Line"and Kyle took the lead and immediately busted through the thick ice at the beginning of that section. The ice was very thick and he needed to get strapped out. That crap would have probably ended my day. We bypassed that and finished "2"with Kyle doing a very cool hill climb near the end of it (I think Jus took a video). We ran "4"to "Yellow Jacket". I ran it backwards (falling down...the easy way) and got stuck, needed to winch after Kyle had "walked” it. Kyle's skill and Jeep are freakin' awesome...FU Kyle!
We (I) had enough for the day and did not chance the "one last trail" jinx I usually take. I did have a slow leak in my rear driver tire and Kyle and I took it off, popped the bead, cleaned out the gunk stuck between the rim and bead, filled it and put it back on for the trip back. Thanks Kyle.
Jus did a great job hanging with Kyle and me the whole day (not for the weak). The only times he got stuck was loss of traction. Great job brother.
I love running trails with Kyle and always challenge myself when he is there, thank you my friend.

I did not take many pictures;

Hey Y'all,

I'm hoping that it's not too late to sign up for the MA run:

b00ster - Jim - '11 SuperBlack Pro4X - NEXTerra - XL - not sure about food after.

I'll be among the "mostly stock" crew. Just out of curiosity what, if any, types of radios do you guys have?

Hope to see you Saturday!
