    Cool Middle of summer, lets talk about snow!

    Time to cool off with the thoughts of snow...

    Have a picture(s) of the deepest snow you were able to make it through? what was your rig's setup?

    At what depth did the snow finally stop your progress?

    While we rarely venture into unplowed snow deeper than 16" or so, ours is our ski cabin every year, and supports 2 people and one k9 for more than a week in sub freezing temps.



    And the new camper we are building will most definitely have this bumper sticker on it....

    Where is your picture to get us started? Most of us don't venture out on snow covered trails because you can actually cause more damage to trails that way.

    Not a wheeling pic, but one from my daytrip to Skagway AK last month. Was 25 or so, so made the 200km trip without doors and front panels. Was great!! Had to stop and pose for a couple pictures with the snow.

    With my firestone winterforce snow tires, I could go anywhere.

    I had snow taller than my tires that didnt stop me.

    +1 for snow tires.

    The coolest weather my XJ has seen is 74deg... I just bought it on July 3rd. But plan on going to Colorado in August for at least a year. Snow is in my XJ's future! so will the pictures.
