Looking at the forcast, looks like there will DEFINITELY be fresh snow could be up to 10". and it is going to be COLD.
Going to be some fun snow wheeling! I'm super excited!

Looks like a fun trip! Be safe, extra fuel just incase. Those temps can be deadly fast if something goes south!

So Andrew and I had a blast. Did not make it to spar Lake ran into about 3 ft of snow. We were able to get within 2.8 mi away. We found a backup Dorr Skeels campground. Which actually works out better because it's very easily accessible and we can base camp there and go snow wheel.






Found some fresh moose tracks,



For scale here is my lunge as far as I can next to it, for the record I'm 6'3

Also had a little bit of carnage we decided to check out one other campground and got buried and in the process I snapped a passenger CV(wheel cranked too hard and suspension at full droop, and more throttle than I meant). Took us a couple hours to get me turned around and winched up the hill, but all in all and absolute blast. Fortunately the way it broke I was able to lock the center diff and drive home in two-wheel drive.
We saw about 50 cops seven ambulances and Life flight still trying to figure out what happened in Clark fork
