Hey everyone - new member here from the Denver area. Thanks for all of the great write-ups & knowledge on almost every topic that I would need.

Here's a picture from a week or so ago up at Slaughter House Gulch (notice my kids in the back.)

Great picture, been up there many times but never in the snow. Did you run the entire trail?

We did not - just up to the t where the trail starts. There was about a foot of snow on the trail (and tracks where others have gone) and I didn't want to get stuck out there with my kids. I'm actually going back out there tomorrow with a buddy - hoping to not get stuck in the snow.

I hope the other guy has a winch. Winter wheeling is a blast, but go prepared. A decent set of chains will get you a lot further than tires alone. I've been back in that areas with over two feet of fresh snow (versus old, frozen, crunchy snow) and had a blast.

welcome to the forum. great pics. damn, even when i lived in new york, the closest i would get to something like that would be if i drove through central park. the joggers hated it, but hey, i was training them to run faster now that i am in florida, the most off road i do is running on the shoulder to get out of the way from the crazies here.
