Topic: DATE CHANGE: Gold Mountain, Big Bear, CA 18 March?

***Date Change***

So thinking about running Gold Mountain up in Big Bear, CA on the 18th of March...  any takers?  Let's get some dialog going on this.  I'm in if we can get a couple of more rigs going.  If you went to the SCCX Rattlesnake Canyon run a couple of weeks ago, Gold Mountain is much more challenging then that.  So definitely some armor, mild lift and some AT or MT tires.

When:
18 March

Where:
Vons Grocery Store
42170 Big Bear Boulevard, Big Bear Lake, CA

Who's in?:
- npgtech w/shi819
- Toro
- rbduffer

Nick, I might be up for this.  Need to find out a little closer what Alex's homework is looking like, but this is a great trail/day trip.

Thanks for posting.

I discussed the same with SteeevO. Have you been up recently?  We think there's too much snow.  BB got dumped on this week.

[npgtech]

It's still a few weeks away, so hopefully it clears up some by then.

A bit of snow never hurt anyone.

I am hoping that I dont have to RSVP.

True...however cavalier respect for Mom Nature may cause side effects...

What was that Boy Scout motto?

Ah yes, the trip that prompted Oz to ask "does anyone know where to get a battery powered chain saw".

Bummer, I am getting back from Texas on that day. I really wanted to run that one!!

[npgtech]

Oh don't worry, I'll want to run it again in a couple of weeks as well.  It is such a fun trail to do.

Let me know if you're in or not I'll adjust the OP accordingly, just want to keep an update attendee list.
