We're gonna go check out Jones Pass and if that isn't a worker, then we'll do Corona Pass. We rode our wheelers up and over Jones Pass this summer and it was awesome, can't wait to do it on a sled. Anybody else riding this weekend?

Drove up to Jones Pass and looked for about 10 seconds. The roads were ice packed and the parking lot was packed with cars and trucks from people snowshoeing and X-country skiing. So we headed over to Corona Pass.

It's decent! There are some bare spots here and there, but overall pretty well covered. Grand Adventures is running tours so the road is getting packed down nicely. I'm looking at the divide out my window, and it's pretty dark over Corona.

If any of you guys go up, try not to take any trailers! You need to drive in through Lakota and go up the logging road about 1.5 miles to get into snow, there is not really anywhere to turn a trailer around unless you back it out 300 yards or so.

At the T in the road, did you go right to the turnaround area, or right?

Thanks

Right at the tee, and continue up the road for about 3/4 mile

Thanks for the report Tec--it seems that the Mile-Hi club made the right decision NOT to bring a dozen or more trailers and the State rig up the road. Grand Adventures has their own access so next time, lets have an honest report.
