5th Annual Twin Lakes Snow Run....

zuk88 · Nov 12, 2012

If you guys plan on doing a run the beginning of December count me in.

Its confirmed !! Kev, can you change the date on your post -- we will be going Sunday November 18th. Meet at Chair 9 in Glacier for a all-you-can-eat buffet around 8:30, I plan to leave there by 9am and be aired down at the start by 9:30.

Looking at the long range forecasts, a run December 1st is all but impossible. Thanksgiving week is looking to be quite stormy and with avg to below avg temperatures. This means a freezing level of around 3500ft, making it pretty impossible to get past the 2nd switchback.

SNOW! If these models hold up (and they are showing pretty consistent right now), it looks like we should have 12-20" of fresh, on top of a 10-20" base

Saturday Night

You know I'll be there

I think Alex and some others wanna try as well. I'm keeping my eyes out on the low snow level. If the Berm goes up at the ranger station, no one is allowed up.

Im out for the 18th my junk is still apart

I think I can be ready for Dec 1st run:beer:

This thread is so confusing.... is any one still trying to go sunday? And yes I understand the weather situation so there is no need to explain that again.:wtf:

japerry · Nov 17, 2012

Yes, there is at least 4 or 5 of us going sunday. Meeting at chair 9 around 830 for all-you-can-eat breakfast and leaving between 9 and 9:30. it should be a good small group and a great run.

I hope to do another run dec 1st, but no guarantee that the berm won't be up by that time.

zukkev · Nov 17, 2012

OK, HERE'S THE SCOOP....

I Went up to 4,000 feet today...RAINING terrible...To the point that there will be NO SNOW worth running to for TOMORROW, therefore...

THIS RUN IS POSTPONED UNTIL ANOTHER WEEKEND... LIKELY THE WEEKEND OF THE 1ST or 8TH OF DECEMBER... (I talked to Jakob, and he concurs...)...
Stay Tuned....

oneshot · Nov 17, 2012

So whats the legality on this run to non street legal rigs and trailer parking?

zukkev · Nov 17, 2012

You're plated/insured Mike??? ... If so, then you're good...As for trailer parking, there's a couple options, one is just off the highway 1/4 mile if the snow hasn't flown that low yet---or 1/4 mile up the highway is another parking area that the sno-park uses once the snow's low enough to use! :clappy:

I am plated and haven't had insurance on it in like 10 years...

japerry · Nov 18, 2012

As long as you're plated, you'll be fine. The major issue is not being actually caught without a plate, its being caught on the trailer without a plate and them stopping and giving you a stern talking to.

But you have a plate, it doesn't expire til 2014!

For reference, parking is here...
