- A few recent pics from the last few weekends.
- 2 hours to go riding would be great! From L.A. its more like 3 for non-plated bikes. As for Big Bear don't know, there are trails outside the ski area that I'm sure you could ride on. We ride dual sport up there quite a bit. Holcomb Valley has quite a few green sticker trails/roads that should be snowmobile friendly.
Now here's a crazy idea, snow bike with a plate! nayther wrote:

what happens if you get stuck? Or do you? Things got to be real heavy.
They are heavier than a stock bike. I found it best to stand next to it, lean the bike and give it some throttle. I never did get it buried but I suppose It's like a snowmobile you dig yourself out.
Guess I'll never know about either. I don't play in snow often in Co Cal.
In California you have year round riding. I miss Vegas and having riding access basically out my front door. I gotta drive 2hrs now for some decent riding. I don't know what the laws are about snowmobiles at say...Big Bear? Are they allowed to go off trail? If you ever get up this way be sure to pm me.WhitehouseLV wrote:
