November 3, 200520 yr Grabbed my Mom and my boy and headed to Snoqualmie. Snow got about a foot and a half deep at its worst. Beautiful day. Top of the hill. Took some work to get there. Pulled this guy out on the way back down. Told Mom, "Stand over there and take the photo. DOn't let him see the camera till I start pulling." Guy was embarrassed just a little. The little bit of clutch stink was worth it.
November 3, 200520 yr Wicked! You were very kind, not a bad looking truck either. All this snow has got me excited. Our mtns. here have some snow in the passes but I haven't managed to get of this rock to enjoy it yet. This weekend looks promising. We're bringing the "rock" boards up to the work party on the cabin this weekend maybe get some turns in. That imp got a tall stance and looks beefy too. Probly not too hard on the guy cause your car is obviously not stock:brow: .
November 3, 200520 yr Hey that's great you got your Mom out for a nature fix. So what road is that? Or post more pics and let us guess. Bet you were the last wheeled vehicle to go there until spring.
November 3, 200520 yr i see you utilized the 'suba-plow' method, works very nicely doesn't it? Impreza + Snow = good times for all
November 3, 200520 yr That first pic is now my wall paper, and a very convincing argument to move to seattle. I should know by friday if i have a job offer, if i don't i'm thinking a move to seattle is in order.
November 3, 200520 yr This could have have been you! Good thing you brought the right tool for the job!
November 3, 200520 yr cool pics Zap, i can't wait till it snows, it usually doesnt snow much were i live (dam coast!) the snow is just so fun!haha thats what i was thinking to dustyrider
November 3, 200520 yr Author This could have have been you! Probably not. I know enough to air my tires down. Don't worry, I'll be posting plenty of deep snow photos featuring my toy before the Winter is over. Mike, that's the road up to the snow park. Third exit, goes up parallel to I-90. The pic of my car is the spot we went up and barbq'd at a couple of years ago.
November 3, 200520 yr Good thing you brought the right tool for the job! yup he drove a subaru (right tool,get it)
November 3, 200520 yr SWEET! I can't wait for some good snow to play in! Its coming! up to 2 feet down to 3500 feet this weekend for Cascades!
November 3, 200520 yr Awesome pics Zap! Glad to see the imp in the snow. I wonder how much snow the XT6 can go through?
November 3, 200520 yr Mike, that's the road up to the snow park. Third exit, goes up parallel to I-90. The pic of my car is the spot we went up and barbq'd at a couple of years ago. That must be the Mt Margaret road then. Hyak exit, under the freeway, then parallel for a mile or so and start climbing. I bet some of those switchbacks were hairy.
November 3, 200520 yr Author Awesome pics Zap! Glad to see the imp in the snow. I wonder how much snow the XT6 can go through? Power is really something else. On one of our HP Xmas tree runs, I brought both the imp sedan and the lifted tan hatch. Imp had good year snow tires, the hatch cooper discoverers. I drove the hatch up, Sean drove the imp. Half way thru the day, we swapped cars. At the end of the day, we both agreed that the imp was way more capable than the hatch. Just having the power to push thru stuff was awesome. Speakin of the HP's Xmas tree run. . . 'bout time to get to organizing this year's.
November 3, 200520 yr we both agreed that the imp was way more capable than the hatch. Just having the power to push thru stuff was awesome. Really! That's good to know considering Im going up into the mountains today to play with the XT6 in the snow.
November 3, 200520 yr Author Bring tow straps, come-a-long, shovel, couple pieces of plywood and a jack at least. Oh, and a camera.
November 3, 200520 yr Bring tow straps, come-a-long, shovel, couple pieces of plywood and a jack at least. O for sure. I might also bring my friend that has an 88 4Runner with nice tires just incase I do get stuck.
November 3, 200520 yr I heard it was white out conditions up in the passes today. Let us know what kind of fun you had
November 3, 200520 yr Don't worry, I'll be posting plenty of deep snow photos featuring my toy before the Winter is over. In the off topic forum of course:rolleyes: Sign me up for the christmas tree run whenever as long as its a weekend.
