just got back from the snow. we went to Bear valley and this is what we had to drive through on the way up and back. lots of fun. was my first time driving in snow that was like 1-2 inches deep, once we got to the park it was like 3-4 inches in some places kinda sucked because my car is low and was acting like a plow. the wheel wells were so packed with snow we had to get out and clear them out a few times because you could hear the wheels rubbing.


the vid.

Dayum! Lucky you, Jason! I can't wait to ride @The 'Wood on Fri!

Then a buncha us us i-clubbers will be on that same road next wknd!

 

Yea, that looks like what i was driving in the other day/night!!
I love to see that much snow though. Its a PITA to drive in, but its worth it to me.

what road were you on?

 

hahahaha, i saw you.. i live in angels camp..

i was working in murphys all day today, but i saw you. i think.... bad *** car man

 

lol thats hella crazy!! thanks.

nice to hear be safe

 

Justin, he was on the roads i mob down like everyday lol

i have so much fun in the snow... living so close to it allows me to have that much fun

if you come up again and you are in murphys before 2pm.. stop by a place called Foothills restaurant.. hella good food and not bad pricing.

if your coming down from bear it the first restaurant on the right hand side after the bigger hotel in murphys..

 

ill check that out next time

 

i work there, so if you see a PSM Bugeye with a CF hood im working or eating lol

 

sweet i like the parking lot pimpin video better =)

 

We went to figero's/the growler the other day. Killer pizza and good beer.

You should come ride with us sometime. My brother and I are up all the time. Tan colorado. We usually eat breakfast down at just delicious. Look for the tan truck with a dude with a buzz cut, 6'1" and a fat *** with dark hair and a gottee. That would be me.

 

About how far is Bear Valley from San Jose? My buddies are telling me 2.5 hrs but Mapquest is saying 3.5 hrs??? Planning on changing it up this weekend and hitting Bear instead of Tahoe.

 

I've made it to BV from hayward in under 2 hours but I wouldn't advise trying it.

I'd count on about 3 hours. It takes about 3.5 from my place in watsonville.


2.5 to 3 is about right depending on weather.

If you head up to BV give me a call on your way up... I'll be up Friday/Sat/Sun.

You'll be happy you did it. It'll be far less crowded and the snow is gonna RIP.

 

3.5 sounds about right. When I lived near SJSU, it took me about 3hrs15min including a pit stop on day trips. Mind you... this was w/ clear roads though. You'll obviously have to acct for conditions, esp. since more snow is slated to hit on starting on Sat after the 2-3 day bluebird break.
