Coral canyon is gonna cancel due to rain so its a pick up game in the planning for this coming saturday. right now planning on dishpan and john bull backwards, but snows are predicted all week and weekend. in the event of too much snow it will become jacoby canyon and 3n16 snow bashing

9-18 inches predicted in the mts by saturday. we will have to make some alternate plans in the event of too much snow. leading a group including smaller rigs up dishpan in 18" would be crappy. JB backwards still sounds good in 18"

Dishpan would be downright scary in 18" of snow..

You wouldn't see half the rocks on the JB in 18" of snow!

depends on how bad its wind blown. im keeping my fingers crossed for 3-5 inches that would be fun

[NakSuKow]

If you love recoveries.

[troyboy162]

haha yeah i know. ive sworn off snow runs in the past, but i cant give up a day wheeling. as the day gets closer we can guage things better. if its tons of snow there is always a high desert run.

I'd be down for whatever, If I didn't have to work this weekend. Hope to catch you guys soon.
