We have to make a trip up to Mt. Fanny for work tomorrow, and my boss did a little road recon and was saying there is over a foot in the road going up there. If it snows some more between now and then, it might be good enough to start putting some break in miles on my sled this weekend. Hopefully anyways.

There was a couple of feet in the road taking the snow cat on the top of Fanny today, and it was snowing when we left. I am planning on taking the sleds up on Sunday for some break-in miles. Should be nice enough to ride on the road at least.

I work for EONI, we had some GPS equipment up there that was acting up, had to install a replacement unit today. OPB was going up in the snow cat so catching a ride with them made the trip easier than chaining up all 4 and winching to trees every 50 feet.

Snow at Mt. Fanny was nice yesterday. Not a ton where we unloaded, but once we got up high there was plenty. Got Becky acquanted with her Phazer. She got it stuck once and was pretty angry, but by the time we headed back to the truck I got her to do one wheelie on it. Hoping to go again next weekend.

Hope you have a nice time, if you head for the peak of fanny you will see that we did not make it far, and probably will see where Becky got the phazer stuck. I think it was just a 18 mile round trip for the day. We took it slow, and stopped to watch deer along the way, though it was about dark by the time we got back to the trailer to load up and go home.

There was a clearing about 3 miles downhill from moss springs, thats where I unloaded. There was enough snow in the road there to go up, but with a bigger truck you could make it up even higher easily.

we are planning a trip somewhere also, we are in the same boat. Thinking anthony lakes. a good bit of snow up there around three ft. I like the Catherine Creek area but not sure how many cow hunters are still out there.

We are planning on a ride up at Anthony Lakes this weekend it looks like, probably Sunday. I have never actually been up there, is there a decent sno-park up there to unload at?

I spent a big chunk of the day doing work on my trailer, I cant wait to get out again.
