Sierra Chapter will be holding its first run of 2006 at Bald Mtn, which is near Shaver Lake east of Fresno. Saturday the 14th of January we will kick the year off with a cold snow run. This event is open to anyone who wants to join. There is no cost, so bring your own food and supplies.
Besides the basic trail equipment, those who want to attend need to have at least 31” tires and GOOD STRONG tow points front and rear. The snow can give new meaning to stuck! This trip will be a good experience for those that have never done deep snow before, please do not let your lack of experience sway you from joining us.
To get into the mountains, CHP requires all vehicles to carry chains, 4x4 or not. So DO NOT forget these. They don’t need to fit or even be in good condition. They just want to see you have them. Gas and air is available in Prather and Shaver Lake.
We will all meet in Prather, Ca in the grocery store parking lot. The parking lot is located on Highway 168 and Auberry Rd. Mapquest will be able to give you accurate directions to the intersection. Please arrive at 8am and we will be hitting the road at 8:30 sharp.
That evening after the run, we are all going to get pizza and drinks at the pizza shop in Prather. They have excellent food and lots of room! If you can’t make the actual run, try to join us for the fun times at dinner!
Please remember that the snow is cold and to pack accordingly. If anyone is needing sleeping arrangements before or after the run, Fresno has motels and hotels that are near the roads to Prather.
Note* these dates are subject to change with weather conditions.
Mark it down on your calender!
