Dave was riding his BIG HIT which has 24 inch wheels and they don't make studded tires for 24 inch wheels , so Dave was doing a little slip sliding away.

he was having Mucho trouble climbing little moab

Coming down the other side was interesting even with studs on.

and Finally the Big Swamp is frozen , since a quad went through it while it was slushy made it rough ice , which made it possible for dave to ride it with out studs , but very slowly. US with Studs had a fun time with this . it is about 100 Yards long .

Don't undress....You can go out tonight at 3 AM when the blizzard"s at full-tilt boogie (predicted 3 in/hr 35 mph wind about 10 degrees F)....Show 'em what Mass guys & gals are made of...... :o

Those are indeed awesome pictures. I ride road and I thought it was cold when the temperature drops below 40 degrees. You guys rock.

Cool pictures. We didn't get any of the big snow up north.
