Snow Flake Chase - Jan 11th 2009

[ANDYD]

This years Snow Flake Chase is on Jan 11th, the Sunday after Founders Day. It will be a local run around Vedder Mountain near Cultas Lake.
We scouted the trail this weekend and as you might imagine there is lots of snow :shock: but that equals lots of fun :D
The trail is mostly level running so progress should be steady.
Note; there are a couple of sections with small brush shrubs that may cause a little scratching but nothing that shouldn't buff out with a quick polish!
Meeting at Tim Hortons at Whatcom road, Exit 95 off Highway 1 (just East of Abbortsford) at 9am, departing at 9.30am.
Expected length of trail is 5 hours, will be stopping for lunch at a nice view point over Cultas Lake (bring a packed lunch).
If you want to start the year with a great fun winter trail drive, this is your chance. If you are a novice off road driver, no worries, there will be lots of experienced snow drivers to help you along the way.
Bring a shovel, tow strap, snow boots, hot flask of coffee and a sense of adventure!
Any questions, feel free to post.

Thanks again to all those who planned and scouted the route for today's snowflake chase. A little rougher at the end than a normal snow run but hopefully nobody sustained any significant damage - not much you can do when Mother Nature is in control. Many thanks to the surveyors and road construction crew that made it possible for us to continue in the planned direction. It would have been a late night had we to retrace our steps. It is always good to see a few new faces on a run.

How does a day driving make you so tired?

After dinner and a short run home we were all ready to crash!

The kids were exhausted (so were Polly & I)

Thanks for all the excellent help spotting and the driving tips.

Thank you Chris for your trail side air service!

It was a great day (and we didn't get the Mog stuck!)

Cheers, Roger

Excellent! Lots of Fun, some challenges and an excellent crew helping out!

Thanks to all for organizing the Run.

Special Kudos to;

Shaun for his help fitting the Rudd's
Pete for directing me down the washout and the "bypass"...
John P for the really cool recovery airbag (I want one!!)
Chris for his onboard air
Don and Roger for the "tugs"

and all the other drivers for making this run a success.

I had to blast off quickly as my passenger needed to get back home, and apologize for not saying all of this in person.

Cheers,
