Nice pics!... what altitude were you where there was all that snow?

How do you like that tent (looks like the REI Hobitat 4)?

It's trip reports and pictures like these that often inspire me to get out. Thank you so much for sharing. Great report and pictures.

Great trip pics! How did your Duratracs treat you? Nice looking Jeep BTW.

very nice! I'm surprised you got over Pearl this early in the year, it took me until almost August to find it open several years ago. Alpine loop area got loads of snow this year but I know they try to plow those pretty early, sure looks like they moved a lot of snow!

Nice trip, nice Jeep, I need to get out more!

That was on cinnamon pass, at around 12,000 feet. Being from Texas that was a little unnerving for me, but we made it through OK

Yes, it is the Hobitat 4 with the add on Vestibule. We loved it, and I was very happy with it. The flat sides do pick up a little bit of wind though, but it is not a bad trade off for the interior space.

The Duratracs were great, we got to run them through pretty much every possible terrain and I was never let down. We ht, Snow, mud, rock, and even some sand. The tires worked perfect.

Sorry, I was not clear on that, We did turn around on Pearl, we could have gone farther, but the time was killing us. Again I am not experienced in the snow, so that was also a factor. We made it through a good amount of snow but it was just to slow going.
