Took a fun snow trip to Bowman Lake with the Apples and their FJ40. We had a great time. We went sledding, met some cool people and a baby bear. We were driving on snow under 5k right before Poor Man Creek. From there it just got deeper. We were over 2ft deep at the summit of the trail at 6160ft. We had fun playing around, drifting and hammering on it, things you can't do on the trail itself without destroying it. I love SNOW! Let's me unleash my Redkneck and drop my right foot down.

So we made it. Always fun plowing up the west side on fresh powder! Same place where me, Downpour and Stokes pushed up early 13'. I'll let the Pics tell the rest of the story...

Getting to deep, taking it to pound town!

And just churning uphill in one SLOW steady pace to the top. 3rd gear in 4LO with rear diff locked at 4k RPM.

Great photos and a beautiful place. I love playing in the snow with my 40. :)
 
Believe me, we were ALL looking for Mama bear! As soon as we saw it tossed the kids and the dogs in the truck. Tucked the 40 and brought out the camera. Baby bears are cute, I just want something to SCARE mama away with. Never saw an adult bear in the area but sice we had everyone packed up we just moved on. And that's when we found the deep snow.
 
Looks like a fun day. I love that area. Thanks for sharing!
