lilbuddy's 2nd Annual Winter Snow Run: HIGH LAKES MARCH 3RD!!!

[kiyul4130]

I completely agree that if the conditions are poor then I surely don't want to travel 6+ hours for it, but weather men are ENTIRELY unreliable at 2 weeks lead time.

Did I miss something? I have not read all of the replys here, but the topic still states "HIGH LAKES JAN 27th!!"

your correct mike, that is the date but up here in chico/paradise it has been really nice weather. i think the last time it rained was a week and a half ago if not maybe more. were just talking about if this continues we should push the date back more. cause having people come up as far as yourselfs and not have a good time/good snow would be crap.

[BigMike]

Cool I suppose I am flexible, but FIREBALL was really counting on my showing up that weekend to help with his sandrail and to hang out.

Valentine's weekends are no good for me (Feb 10th and/or Feb 17th), other than that I'm game. March 3rd is Tierra Del Sol, April 14th is Molina Ghost run, May 5th is Cruise Moab, May 19th is GSMTR, and May 26th is the High Desert RoundUp..

[kiyul4130]

damn your busy. well hopefully there it will be good up there by the 3rd of Feb atleast. as of right now, gorgeous out. no clouds an getting a bit warmer to.

[BLACKDOG]

2 weeks is too long for any weather to be really predictable, so there is some hope

[bustatoy]

there is a big storm coming in this weekend on this side of the hill but i dunno if it is going to hit highlakes or not

[FIREBALL]

When ever you make it Mike....no prob. But 6hrs? not even that long with your old motor. Hopefully we'll get some weather, that sandy snow sucks butt.

[cruzila]

Change it to Rubicon. Don't change the date.

There is a tree down now about 6 miles in and noone has been past there since. Since the last big wind storm. What before x-mas? I want to but don't think I'll make it up before then.

There is maybe three feet in spots past uncle Tom's and this one is supposed to be COLD. Powder sugar for sure. Brrr

[bustatoy]

the big storm is here lets hope it hits highlakes

[kiyul4130]

the big storm is here lets hope it hits highlakes

[bustatoy]

well it looked like it was going to snow but the system blew out of here   this hella sucks

[toyhunter]

[Rockcrawlintoy]

[cruzila]

Snow is not too bad right now, not too good either. Sugar, but has a crust. Frickin cold..........3-5 feet at 6500 plus drifts of 10 -12 in spots

[lilbuddy]

Man i want to go to the rubicon so bad but thats too far for me with no job.

If it doesnt snow up here then it might have to be pushed back to the 3rd or 10th.

Dang i want to go to the rubicon though bad.

[cruzila]

Still no job??

[lilbuddy]

yeah im not motivated even though i should be having no money.

[bustatoy]

so what the deal are we going to highlakes or anywhere the 27th

[kiyul4130]

id say we wait till this friday and see whats going on with weather. if its still sunny (even though im really enjoying it) by then we should move it back. just my opinion. ill talk to chris.

[Hyena]

i gotta get my trailer fixed.  and i might even try to get my steering done too.

[lilbuddy]

so the next 7 days is supposed to be sunny and in the upper 50s.... this is lame...

theres snow in the mountains that i can see from the valley but i bet its still that crap snow and NOT worth it.... this is lame.

[88Rokyoat]

Pat and I went up there today, it was all icy and sandy snow under the crust. There was a dusty dirt road all the way to the butte meadows turn off. we just went to the lott lake T. it was like spring up there though, but the wind was damn cold

[lilbuddy]

So was the snow just total crap and not worth it?

[BigMike]

[88Rokyoat]

So was the snow just total crap and not worth it?

yeah pretty much...

[kiyul4130]

this time last year it was NUTTY!!!!!!!! i cant believe it. im loving the sun but damn i want a snow run!

[88Rokyoat]

damn i want a snow run!

yeah it's not worth the time or gas to go up there right.  If we don't get some decent snow by the 27 think it should be held another weekend. As it is up there now if you drive off the frozen road, you get stuck. i was cruising through the trees yesterday and found a soft spot and it was like being buried in sand. hopfully in the next couple days/weeks (whenever it comes) it will start and not stop until it has dumped a couple feet like last year.

[Ramrod]

so is the plan gonna be to wait till this weekend to see if the plans change?  I will no matter what be up there on the 27th because thats the last day or duck season and this has been the best season of my life but i'd be willing totally able to go after that, moreso on say the 10th

[bustatoy]

im in favor of moving it back a week or so

[sloyota]

move the date back and wait for more SNOW

[TacoStewie]

lets wait for some more snow, and give me more time to put my gears and lockers in
