What does "in the back way" mean? You came down Norcan Lake Rd from the Mountain Chute damn? Or you came up from the Flower Station/Ompah area? Did you actually go in to the Quinn, or just on the access road? How deep was the snow on your snow tires? The snow shouldn't be as deep in the woods as there is little to no drifing. Most of the trucks will be 35" or bigger, so 10" of snow isn't much of a deal.
Just reverse from how we did it in on the last club outing there, so up Norcan Lake Road, though well pass where it became single track. I'd say there's probably 10" there now given the latest snow yesterday. I don't see a problem doing it in 32" tires really, but with some of those hills and the way the snow is loose and unconsolidated (we have this problem on the steep mountain hiking trails too right now) because we haven't gotten any rain or warm weather, it's just like powdered sugar at the moment.
If I'm in town I'm coming, I think it could be quite interesting. There are a few points though were sliding sideways is a real concern... what's the approach there since that would really suck for those of us who aren't in glorified buggies
Roped traverses? I'm fairly new to using vehicles in these conditions (last time up the Quinn was my first chance to do some rock crawling, and I've since added diff armour and fixed my traction control
) but getting around in difficult to access places, especially in winter is one of my primary hobbies, usually up the side of a mountain though
