I found myself in Breckenridge today with a few hours to spare so I scoped out Wheeler Lake. Hit snow about halfway up, I could see that bowling ball hill was completely covered with snow. The three rock obstacles were all clear though.

I made it to here:

I do all of my own stunt work. And spotting. And photography.

Good thing I ditched the side exhaust. Not a scrape today, but if I had those side exit exhausts on I don't think they would have survived this obstacle.

Could have made it a little further but I was running out of time and by myself so I decided to stop here

Same. Can't wait until it's fully open.

I saw some picts on FB where a guy flopped on a drift last weekend.

I worry about that with my rig. It's super tippy. Far more so than the Rovers. I'm going to experiment with disconnecting the sway bar although other Benz owners say that they roll more often off-road with the sway bar disconnected.
