Just an end of the year run before the snow starts flying. In years past there has been the option of Chinaman Gulch or Carnage Canyon (for those who are built for it), and an easier, more scenic trail around the 4 mile area for those who are not as well built or would rather take an easier day.
I don’t think I’ve seen the easy run happen in the few years since I started joining. Not to say it can’t, it’s just not been as regular.
It used to be a much bigger weekend with 20-30 rigs and folks would camp or book a hotel for a Sunday run. I think the average turn out has been under 10 for the last 3-4 years.
takin off a few days next wk to get my pig rollin and those new gears broken in. if y'all weren't 20hrs away that'd be a nice test run.
i was considering april fools next season but may put that off till late may so more trails might be opened up.

Fools run are the same trails. Buena Vista tends to have mild winters. Of the 7 or so Fools runs I've been on, only one had snowy conditions. The rest of the time it was 50-70 degrees
I suppose it's good and bad, nicer to have smaller groups to have more play time.
I will likely be there! Hard to say no when it's just a 20 minute drive!
I guess we'll make the Official post..

I’m going to try to make it. After this past weekend on Saran Wrap, the wife is a little hesitant
But on a positive note...I may get some corner armor and tail lights out of it lol
