    Snow trip August

    Just got back from one of the best snow trips I've ever been on!

    We got a huge dump of snow during the week and the weekend was simply perfect weather with great food and company.

    There is nothing better than being the first vehicle on a track with thick snow ploughing your way through! Darren came undone on a track and ended up taking us a solid hour or more of all different types of recoveries to get his gu out of a ridiculous bog. We snapped winch ropes and had to grind off shackles and all types of double line pulls to finally get him out!

    Absolutely spewing I couldn't make it! We headed up to Mt Useful and Mt Selma as a day trip on the Saturday and had a blast.

    Nothing like sand. More like mud but more slippery and cold.
    Nothing really compares.

    Nah I don't agree Winnie sorry mate. It is almost identical to driving in heavy sand. Same principles apply. Momentum is king. Wheel spin is the enemy. It sucks power and heavy deep virgin snow is like dry Deep sand. Footprint is king and muddied aren't needed. Big and wide will win the day.

    Driving in wheel ruts that are packed down and icy can be very slippery and can compare to mud though and you can have trouble stopping and taking off. In deep snow if you stop you might not take off again. Back and forth in your own wheel ruts will often recover yourself the same as sand too. If you do alot of beach driving you'd love the snow.

    Had an awesome weekend gents I will log on with Tappa Nd post some pics.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
