After finally getting the steering issues worked out on the JK, took a 130 ish mile round trip drive up to crown point road.  Got the maiden voyage in on the 35s, and wanted to feel how everything drove on the windy mountain roads.

the first 180 degree hard turn on a spur got shut down pretty quick from not only snow, but multiple trees down and I didn't have a chainsaw.  so I nudged the drift a few times and gave up.

got about 5 1/2 miles up the main road and got into some deep snow.  I busted through the first section that wasn't very deep and the next stretch went on much longer than the 1st.  There has been a substantial amount of beetle kill mitigation up there so a lot of the high side winch points are gone.

Being a solo run and 72 degrees at 9500 feet with 24-36 inches of rapidly melting snow beneath me... i gave up and turned around for the day.

next time....
