yes. I got the one rail up under there, and it seemed to be a good fit.
I hope the next one goes as well.

We're pushing a foot here...close to 20" expected up at the trail...Good news is that it's supposed to be warm and rainy next week, so most of the snow should be gone again for you guys...

It is not snowing here, it is Ice'ing...... just plain old ice, building up on anywhere it falls. This is terrible.

well boys I should have my new toy by the time this ride happens, just waiting for it to go from 1 store to another, I'll be purchasing a mini air compressor so we can air up right after the runs instead of driving to a gas station all the time, this thing is awesome I've used one before & it's quick ( somewhat) it's NOT like the ones you can buy for $20 it's heavy duty & you connect it right to the battery instead of the lighter/power outlet...SO NO MORE getting chng. at the gas station & hopin the air works :wink:

I'll be picking it up on monday

that's great Pete! I will have one set of chains in case there is still alot of snow!!!

raceinfan · **Posted:** Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:48 pm

from what I've been told there shouldn't be but one never knows we'll be fine,there will be enough of us to spot & what not & if there is snow it'll make it even more interesting I just hope not icy

I've got a regulator for my HPA tank on the way as well, should be here on thursday, but I'm not making this trip anyway. Just for future reference. Powertank's website says that it'll do a 35" tire in under a minute :shock:

...we'll see about that. As for the trail conditions- we ended up with about 16" here, probally about the same up in Sanbornville. It snowed all night, and it's been sleeting/icing all day, so things are REALLY slick. The snow also has an unusually low coefficient of cohesion(prime avalanche snow), so even the snow is super slick and hard to move in. That's what fell around here, I'm not sure about up there, could be different. If it's anything like the snow that's here and it doesn't go away or start melting together, you guys are gonna have your hands full. Chains would be reccomended for the snow here.

lol everyoes doing air systems!

I ordered a 10# on board co2 system for airing up! lol it will do a 31 inch tire in like 20 seconds, and I will be able to fill 50+ tires :shock:

raceinfan · **Posted:** Sat Mar 17, 2007 6:31 pm

at least we'll be all set for air :lol:

I've been planning on buying this for sometime now just haven't had the funds now I do, mine will take alittle longer to do 4 tires but I'll have it

ratmloud · **Posted:** Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:04 pm

raceinfan · **Posted:** Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:11 pm

gopherbeats · **Posted:** Sat Mar 17, 2007 11:20 pm

speaking of snow, has anyone found a webcam in the area we are headed to?

Here is a web site for LOST NH Ski Areas , maybe ours is on the list.

Hello all,

I'm the XJ that is hoping to tag along with gopherbeats on this trip. I'm really looking forward to this run and meetings some fellow Jeepers that enjoy using them. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up.
