yesterday's run: we only made it to rockwood. and that was a battle! the snow is very deep and heavy, it didn't lighten up until just below rockwood...but just got deeper.
our regulater had plowed a mole path from rockwood to durango friday night after our first attempt that day.
we made it through the valley with little trouble (just winging the sides, not flanging) the hill became pretty tough and we couldn't even wing some of it; it's too much drag! it starts to feel like the 73 is pulling a 12 car train up the hill!
the snow was as deep as the wings!
finally bogging to a halt at the "mini highline" after a few back and fourth attempts for a run-at-it we cut the engine to plow a path to rockwood.
there she goes. see ya in an hour and a half or so.
