Run Report
The short-notice run was a success! A week-long snow storm delivered plenty of fresh powder. Seven rigs met at Raleyâs and headed north via Sky Ranch Road to FS 6S010. The fresh snow made traction challengingâwinch lines, kinetic ropes, and straps saw plenty of use. After ~2.5 hours we stopped at 6S047Y for a long lunch. We turned around at 3:30 PM and were back on pavement in about 20 minutes. Read the full run report â
