Not a lot of offroad pictures, even though we did some nice offroad routes.
The trails were pretty skinny, leaving Karla's door pinned against a hill and mine... well... I didn't want to get out. :huh:
Did get some fun sledding in though, and some really funny videos.
We always take a picture crest this hill coming out of Denver. Didn't see the buffalo this time though.
We went up to Central City, up through Nevadaville, down over to St. Mary's Glacier/Alice (always wondered where that road was!).
Timmy tried this hill with his truck....
Then decided to sled it! In his sweatpants..... :N_poke:
Just before getting back to the paved road that goes up to St. Mary's Glacier we passed by this house.
OMG.
I WANT.
Yeah, Karla and I drooled everywhere.
We headed up towards Alice, I found the road that goes to Loch Lomond.
"Hey, my buddy did this in the summer in his Outback. Lets give it a go!"
Timmy was smart enough to hold back while I.........
.....sunk.....
I guess there's a reason why there were only snowmobile tracks going down that road....
A quick shovel, aired down a bit more, 4-low and I was out.
Check this sign out! :lol:
"Pooh Corn?"
Is this what Pooh Corn looks like? :raspberry: :lol:
Found a sledding hill! Not perfect, but we had a good time.
Set the Frontier up as a tow rig too, to pull us back up the hill.
Of course that was after Timmy sledded 1/4 mile down the hill.... :icon_rolleyes:
As the snow moved in and wind picked up, we decided to go in search of a sunny spot for lunch.
Karla jumped all over the opportunity....
Hopped in the truck for the few dirt patches
I could see the smile through the back of her head.
Looked like our friend Brandi was laughing her *** off in the back of the truck too taking pictures and video.
Skillfully handled a few sharp turns:
I played "tail gunner" and had a good laugh watching.
All in all, we had a great time! Strange snowshoe man was just a hiccup.
Can't wait til we get some more snow!
There were some great spots but were mostly dirt as they were free of trees and the sun did it's job.
Our friend Timmy tries the hill before we set the tow rope up. He kept going and going and going..... Lets just say he wasn't happy when he realized how far he had to walk back up!

LOL! I bet you wouldn't have gotten very far even if you didn't sink. There are a total of three gates on that trail, with the first one only a short distance from where you sunk But Kudos for trying :biggrin:
So my brother challenged me to an off-road battle. Of course I didn’t expect the Sport to keep up with the Jeep. But boy, was I surprised at how it performed. Check it out, and let me know what you think, and what I could have done differently.

For an SH Forester, if you had the option, would you build a XT Turbo or a non-turbo X? Either would be an auto and either would be a 2009-2012 with low miles.(U.S. market cars)
Hey all, i've got a stock 09 XT with its 17" rims and access to an old forester '03 going to the scrapyard. Would there be much benefit to steeling the 16"s of the old girl. Thinking of better selection of off road tyres maybe and perhaps just a bit thicker tyre to play with. In an ideal world...
I wanted to show some pictures of Primitives XV/Forester winch bumper along with the Warn 55s winch. I had a chance to test it out in my driveway today which has about a 10-15% grade. This was a very easy installation and looks clean.
Just purchased an '04 XT with about ~98k, automatic trans. Looking to make some upgrades to add ground clearance and additional off-road capability, but nothing crazy.
Here's my current list of intended upgrades, and then some questions:
2" ADF lift (strut top spacers and trailing arm spacers)...
