Default Sledding Success!


Quite a fun day of sledding after a foot or so of fresh snow last night. Not another soul to be seen. We had this valley to ourselves. No other tracks save for some deer.

Deep snow seems to be well tackled with sand mode and Lo range. Especially on the climb up. The Bridgestone Blizzak tires are in their element here. Just astounding power and traction from the Defender in this deep snow. Thought I might get to use my MaxTraxx today. No luck.

Climbed up to about 3700'. Climbing is real fun but the control on the descent is simply astounding.

There is so much this truck can do. I'm sure I'm just scratching the surface. Sure is a fun itch to scratch.


Quite the river crossing.

Yes. It was a blast. That's what these trucks are for I reckon. Opening up new playgrounds.

I know that exact spot, but I think I've always been going down at that point, not climbing. It's a steep sumbuck, but thankfully very short.

What a great little montage. Gets to the heart of the Defender better than the JLR ads!
