We had four feet of snow last night:

It's about 40 meg, but everyone has fast internet right?

Nice, I lived off Skyline east for the last 3 years and always enjoyed having the FJ62 out in the snow.

Cool.
Thanks for sharing.

WOW nice vid and love the snow. We are sweltering here in OZ with temps well above 100 F. Just goes to show, 60 series cruisers can go anywhere! And DO!
Oh and btw good tunes too! Can't go wrong with KWS.

Very cool shot and video! As Big Cruiser Guy said, we are starting to get the snow again this year. Finally had a white Christmas with about 8" over 5hrs in Carson City, sure Tahoe got a lot more where he lives.
Still hoping for more, it is the least the weather could do if it is going to constantly be in the low teens or single digit temps, sheesh.

Haha, thanx guys. I wish I had the GoPro (thanx Santa!) out for the first run where I had to pound trail for the rest of the ranch, there were a couple spots where the snow was up over the hood. After that I - oh well.

I on occasion see an ol FJ60 or 62 dead in someones yard here, there is one near the college that runs where I work and is a DD.

TONS of FJ40s here and there scattered through the woods.

I'm thankful for the snow, we've been pretty bare till now.

Happy new year

Pretty easy with light fluffy dry snow.

I have a friend who lived in Homer for a while. He had a sticker on the back of his 80 that said, "Homer, Alaska. A quaint little drinking town with a fishing problem."

I often get asked how my cruiser does in the snow. I tell them its great until the snow is over the hood. Fun stuff!

Great video! Looked close to taking out the kid running around in the snow. I'm guessing you wouldn't have shared if you did crush him.

Naw, he is fine - he was chasing his remote control airplane.

I personally thank you. This has made my day. I have never been in snow, until this weekend, and it melted before it touched the ground.. I can honestly say I had a smile on thought the video. I'd love to go play in that kinda stuff one day.

Thanks

B****in video!

Was in Tahoe over the holiday with my 60 and she did great in lots of new snow.

But your video is awesome!

Very nice mate. I had one of the best snow runs yesterday, unfortunately the rear brakes in the cruiser seized up the night before and so I tagged along with a friend in his j**p.

No worries, snow wheeling season is still fresh here where I am so hopefully I'll catch a few good runs now that the wagon is up and ready again. And maybe even some nice pics as well.

Again great vid,
Cheers,

Jealous. We get a few inches in Seattle if I'm lucky. What you guys probably call a primer coat. We'll probably get nothing this year since it's my first with the 62. Well, at least we have the passes.
