as soon as the snow started this time, the g got put away, trying to get it home from work last month (when it dumped) was a joke . . .

We got over 6 inches in about 4 hours. I tried to drive my WV......Did not happened. So I took out my LTZ400. Now that was some serious driving I did.

I went to the gas station to fill up my quad, there was nobody there but me and couple of suv's. Got approached by a police officer while I was snow drifting on the school parking lot. He asked me if my quad was registered to be on the road, I told him no, then he told me that he's not going to bother me and that I make sure that I don't run into anything. What a nice officer

So pretty much when the level of snow go to 4 inches or so. Most of the vehicles that were on the road were snow mobiles, dirt bikes or quads. Fun night.

Oh yeah.........And I had no problem driving to work today. I love my WV.

I'm just lucky I have my wife's touareg for snow days. It does great in the snow, passes all the huge 4x4 trucks that think their the shiat.

Went boarding yesterday, and it took 5 hrs to get home in the traffic. Luckily we were in a 4x4 with some skills behind the wheel. Ended up stranded at my buddy's house overnight. We made the best of it, though, and built a kicker (jump) on a hill around midnight. Hit it (on our snowboards) for a couple hours.

Look at that bulge:

Drove up the hill from Maple Valley today and can safely say I was worried for a little bit. Got into the 'rents house and parked the G probably for the rest of the weekend. Anybody hittin up Alpental this weekend? If so, we should meet up and get some runs in together. Everyone drive safe.
