Grayling Snow Run '09

[Nips]

I had the chance to attend the 10th annual Grayling Snow Run this past weekend. It was my first time up to Grayling and my first time offroading with the H3T. It was a blast. The snow was very deep (around 18-24 average I believe).The guys that organized it did an excellent job and made it enjoyable for everyone that attended. I even got some free custom pinstripping on each side of the H3T! I didn't have a co-pilot so here are a few of the pics that I was able to snap.

We had two groups on the first day. My group had two H1's, one H2, three H3's and I was the only H3T

This hill was a lot of fun. It was more challenging on the second day as the path had drifted shut and a few more inches of snow had piled on as well.



I was playing around and found some deep snow. I had to be rescued by an H1 of course. The sand underneith the snow didn't help any.

I was riding along in an H1 for the night run when we came up to this tree


I was a little suprised when he jumped right out and got a chainsaw out of the back of the H1. These guys were prepared for about anything.

10-15 minutes later the trail was clear.

Looks like a good time.

Some 35" M/T's would have been your friend where you got stuck... That doesn't look too deep at all.

Great pics, yesterday and today we've had similar amounts fall here, it's a blast to run through good 4 foot piles

WOW that looks like fun. Wish it would snow down here in NC sometime. That way I could go out and see all the southerners off the road.

Looks like it was a fun time. I really wish I could have made it!!

Dave,

for a newbie, you did great.

The pictures aren't really the greatest at showing the snow depth, but there was more snow this year then any other year for this run.... We had a great time, and I enjoyed having you ride with me on that night run....

There will be an article posted in the azimuth

Thanks Scott, it was well worth the long drive up there. The ride in the H1 was great. Here is a little better pic of where I was trying to go when I got stuck. Scott was coming around to pull me out when he got stopped. I wish I would've made it a little farther, would have been a cooler pic.
