Anyone wheeled Santiam Pass in Oregon?

[jnackos]

How does it compare to TSF? I heard that a lot of the trails at TSF are closed, so I was thinking about checking out Santiam Pass.

Thanks!

i am not familiar with santiam pass. i snow wheel in the mountain roads above Detroit, or. up highway 22. is santiam pass higher? up towars sisters or something?

Yes, it is closer to Sisters, near the hwy 22/20 junction. It is also very close to Hoodoo ski resort if you know where that is.

There is, but I don't know how many trails or how good they are. There is a little info here http://www.oohva.org/ohv area pages/santiam.html.

I've got a 6" lift with 35's, 4.88 gears, and a detroit in back. I haven't done a snow run in years, so I would be up for playing in the snow.
