Snow Wheeling Questions

nick c · Feb 6, 2013

Need to get a couple good snow runs in before out baby comes and I put on the bench for a few months.

Other then copper creek or down around Evans (Coplay/Surprise Lake) where's a good spot to get up high into some good snow?

I was thinking Greenwater, pretty sure FS 75 is still open to wheeled vehicles but its been a few years since I've been out there.

Any other good spots South of I-90 and North of Hwy 12?

There's a bunch off hwy 410 above Greenwater.

I'm headed off the 75 road above Greenwater to try and get to Lonesome Lake, on Saturday, but it's a Ford Ranger meet.

You can head over to the east side of the mountains.

The Pnwjeep jeep guys are always going to Denny creek off of I90.

I hit snow on the forest service road out of Wilkeson (go past the rock quarry). I was at the 8 mile mark in the superduty and decided to retreat since I was solo. This was middle of last week.

Here is a google map link of where I made it too. Its about 2600 feet at that intersection, but I think the road tops out around the 4500 foot level.

I want to go to the end of that road this summer.

You can go all the way to Cedar lake when the conditions are right. Good snow run.

East side would be cool, but not really good for day trip.

We ran up there last night. Didn't make Cedar Lake but we did make new tracks for quite a ways.

Based on my last map point from my phones GPS, this wide area is roughly where Gavin's rig stopped. I was not much further ahead when I burried it to the frame.

Scale shack out by onalaska was fun. almost made it to the tower up there, there probably was 8-9' of snow up there and we were pushing thru 3' of it most of the way.
