3rd Annual Twin Lakes (Whatcom County) Snow Run! (CHANGED! NOV 20)

It looks like this week we will be seeing the first sign of snow above 4500'. That means the Whatcom County twin lakes snow run is coming soon!

Requirements?
Tires with GOOD tread / works in the snow
at least one locker
food
sled? snowboard for the kids? its a fun ride down if you're a passenger!

We will be aiming to get up there before the snow becomes unbearable, which could be in two weeks or two months. I'll post up the date 1 week before we go!

Edit: the trip will be November 20th.

Last year: November 14th. 2 Years ago: December 15th.

Meet up at Bob's Burger and Brew in Sumas, WA at 7:30am for breakfast... 9am at the ranger station in Glacier if you don't wanna come that far north.

tow rig parking?

japerry · Oct 7, 2010

Yup! there are two spots with plenty of parking, we'll probably aim for the one up the road, unless there is snow down low.

Did you get the wrong one handled, or are you just gonna weld the rear???

Just gonna weld the rear (fozzy lock it) That way, if I actually decide to get a locker down the road, I can just throw it in there (detriots use the stock carrier) or get new sidegears (lockright) I shoulda just said **** it, and had you weld it when we had it appart, but thus, I didn't.

I still need to figure out what that other locker is so I can sell it, I waited to long and can't do a dispute on paypal.

Once I sell it, I can put that money towards other upgrades like longarmin the rear, or more importantly, a winch!

What about small tire'd throttle jokeys? We're the worst. We DESTROY trails with our small tires and open/open diffs. We're the bain of the wheeling community.:haha:
