Its oficially to deep...
Well, for the past month or so, I've seen guys posting up pictures of there bikes playing in some snow. I keep seeing these and I chuckle as some one says how great there bike does and there tires are awesome in the snow, and then it dawns on yah that they think 10" of the fluffy stuff is deep....
... 10" is just getting fun, especial powder as theres still a bottom (the ground) and theres no weight to the snow to hang you up
We'll I personally have been bombing through over 2 and ahalf feet most of the winter, but as of the last couple weeks (and others in the NE can attest) the snow accumulation has gone up incredibly. As of Saturday march 1 2008, the snow has become to deep for the Big Red, Even with the 27x12-10 X/L Dirt Devils, the snow is too deep.
I just noticed the same today when my friend stopped by on his rancher 350 with 27'' itp 589s and I took it for a spin through the yard and made it about a foot before i got buried. had to take the mower out with 27x12x12 vampires and plow the yard to make a little 5 acre circle track to get my by for the winter! most spots in my yard are about 15-20'' deep from when it snowed constantly yesterday, nothing compared to back in the 90s though when we were getting 3' + and you couldnt even leave the house.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"
