you can really bridge the bumps with those and throw good snow chunks. How long of a drive to get to the mountains? That sucks about having to rebuild the engine again. I also have an 05 gtx 500ss and had to have it rebuilt a couple years ago because it ate a crank bearing. But the original had 11000+ miles on it and 10000 of those weren't easy ones. The 09 has around 7500 miles on it. The riding you guys do out there is different then in New England.
For the real mountain riding we usually stay in Dubois, WY near the foothills of the Teton forest, up on the cont divide is some great area to play......still a looong days drive.
The Black Hills are a lot closer, but that is a cross of so so trails and not so great meadows, but with the right snow not so bad really.

Morning guys. We have an old van out back that the bosses decided today is the day to get it running. I think the battery is frozen. 
Got that pulled out and on the big charger, hopefully it takes a charge. On the bright side the van has a block heater, so I have that going for me which is nice!
