Snow Flake Chase - Sunday 22nd January

#1 Post by ANDYD » Tue Jan 17, 2012 4:09 pm

Its been a tradition to have a club run on the Sunday after Founders day, namely the "Snow Flake Chase" which is a local run where we head out to enjoy the Mountain Air and get to crunch some snow under the Land Rover tyres! (not too hard to do this year!)
This year we have scouted out a run to the north end of the beautiful Chehalis Lake area and have come up with a fun trail full of the wonderful winterland.

Meeting Time will be Sunday Jan. 22nd at 9am at the Sasquatch Inn in Agassiz, on Highway #7. Planning to depart by 9.30am sharp. We plan to be back on the ashphalt between 4pm - 5pm. (before dark).

With the current conditions, Off road / Snow / All Terrain tyres are a must, also a tug strap and have a tug strap point front and back of your truck. A shovel and tyre chains would be a option if you have them.
Also recomended are snow boots, extra clothes, blankets & sunglasses if its sunny 8)

The Sasquatch Inn will not be open at this time of the morning so before you arrive there, please ensure you have fueled up, brought or picked up lunch (or a Sandwich from Tim Hortons on the way).

Don't forget to bring your cameras...

Cheers,
Andy

So we can get an idea of how many participants to expect, it would be great to hear from those that will join us on the snow flake chase. If you're planning to attend, please post up!

Snow Flake 2012

#11 Post by ANDYD » Sun Jan 22, 2012 10:15 pm

The Snow Flake Chase had no trouble finding snow this year :shock:

Nice turn out of 12 trucks, there sure was plenty of snow and the objective of making it to North Chehalis Lake for lunch was successful.
On the way back out it snowed like crazy and the mountains were transformed into an amazing winter wonderland.

Thanks all for coming out for what was really a great fun run!

Photos coming soon, until then a little snipet of Mystery Creek.....


Cheers, Andy
