Snow Shots

[adventureduo]

It's been warm here in SoCal lately.. and was thinking about how nice it would be if it was cold again... so post up your favorite snow shots!

Here's my absolute favorite. Made JP magazine last year. Yosh is in the passenger seat freezing.

It was coming down like a madman. I remember having to drive with my head out the window like ace ventura cause the 1967 wipers couldn't hang (they run off the engine!). The XL's did great until i hit some ice then the huge truck turned into a sled. That was scary.

And yes, im a cool guy with my sunglasses on! (dont ask, i dont know why i had them on lol)

This is my favorite. Don't have many snow shots.. living in the desert and all.

EDIT to add more pics I took that same day:

And last but not least, this was completely random:

My beater is behind the Jeep - we almost made it to the top of the rim near Williams, AZ. It's only a few hundred yard away in all the fresh snow. We were both at 4 to 5 PSI, and were getting pretty good floatation, but just couldn't push any more snow on the grade...

Don't get a chance to play in the snow very often when you live on the face of the sun.

One of my favorite winter trips was back in '93 or so when Scott and I cruised up to the vicinity of Silver City, Idaho. Busting through the snow banks and making the first tracks of the year with your best bud- too bad I didn't get any pictures.

Since I moved to Alaska, winter wheeling has lost its charm. Hovering over a CJ heater when it's -30F out, knowing full well that getting stuck is going to be painful, is less fun than it sounds here. Strange, I'll ski all day in conditions like that, but I feel colder sitting behind the wheel of my Jeep. Maybe it's time to upgrade the heater.
