Anyone want to do a snow run on the switzerland trail two weekends from the coming one. I should have my impreza back with the dual range transmission by then, and want to try it out.

 

It's about 15 miles of route through the woods around peak to peak highway north of Nederland -- some steeper side roads to play around on and some forest service roads that parallel parts of it with more fun terrain, but mostly old railroad grade. Parts of it get pretty wind drifted depending on how much snow we have by then. Mostly forest service, though it goes through some private property at points.

 

I'll have to give an update when it gets closer and see how the snow level is, but in the summer I've done most of the route with the stock subaru justy -- pretty much any subaru with snow tires should be fine. The very end half a mile only lifted subies will probably be able to do -- I've done it with my truck a few times and it gets pretty bumpy (lots of football sized rocks) I might take the impreza up it though -- we'll see. If you don't want to, you can turn around and backtrack about 3 miles and get back to the same ending spot.

 

Lots of good spots for photos with the continental divide and such....
