97 E350 Winne 4x4- Ski Bum Mobile

[java]

Two additional batteries going in. AGM ones, and inside, so hopefully they appreciate the heat. This will double the battery capacity.

The beast will be going up for sale in the spring also if anyone is interested.

Headed out for another week of skiing!

Lunch stop at Warm Springs.

Made it to the mountain!

Stormy! Lots of wind and snow the first day

Storm makes for good skiing though

Cleared up the next couple of days!

Great photos! I wish I could do this every weekend, resorts on the east coast aren't as friendly to parking lot camping, however. Keep us updated!

Thanks! That's no fun, we have never been kicked out yet.... Cops called once, but that was just pissy security guy.

How was the new Cloud Chaser lift and terrain? I've heard good things about it, but haven't been over to Bachelor yet this year. Oh, and good to see the Winnie is still getting use!

It was ok, pretty flat, but any new terrain helps spread the crowd out! Yeah its a great little truck

Another awesome trip in the books. Did Schweitzer, Red Mountain and Whitewater.

Parked with the other ski bum buddies at Schweitzer

The Normal evening for us.

Kiddo had fun

At Red mountain

Really foggy but found some serious steep! Pics dont do it much justic, but look at the angle of the trees!

Above the fog

We parted ways with our friends here and continued up to Whitewater.

Show up after everyone leaves and you get front row parking the next morning!

Gorgeous area top ski trees with the munchkin!

My lovely wife leading the way

8 year old killing it! She wanted to do laps down this run all afternoon

Love this place

Last night outside Spokane

Looks like a great time! When do you plan to have V2 on the road and ready?

It was a good time!

Aiming for spring. Wife wants to take it out for Memorial day for sure. So hopefully before then :smiley_drive: Gotta get walls and heat done at least. Cots are workable if needed!

Awesome! I have been enjoying following along with the build. Keep me updated when you are ready to switch vehicles, still interested.

And so ends our journey. Leaving on her next adventure without me.

I hope the new owners family has as much fun and as many adventures as we did. Its been a great truck for us. It was REALLY sad to see it drive off like that. Im sure she will be loved.
