    Unless the snowpack/mud is deep (4ft) there is no need for a track vehicle. Throw iron & roll ladies.

    The track vehicles I've operated turned on a dime. But those were stick steered not a wheel.

    I don’t want to throw iron. That’s too much like work. So there. :biggrin_25522:

    It was only nineteen(19) feet deep at the summit of Old Fujnuts that year of the avalanches. Was like going through a snow canyon.

    We were one of five(5) trucks to get over the summit, then it avalanched again.

    There were parts everywhere at the top, and I was surprised the road was even open.

    I got few picks on the old phone.
