SNOW RUN: Sunday 12-26-2021 @ 9am //
Hey y’all! We’re leading our annual holiday snow run, culminating in a bonfire and potluck.
These runs are great for vanners of all experience levels, allowing drivers an opportunity to learn deeper snow driving techniques, whilst gaining a fuller understanding of your vans off-road capabilities.
Our day trip will lead us up snowy trails, stopping at obstacles and viewpoints along the way. The group size for this event has steadily grown over the years, so we’ll set a destination to be a central point for those wanting to either chill, or splinter off and tackle some more radical terrain.
We’re meeting up at 9am at VANLIFE NORTHWEST at 9210 N. Peninsular Ave. Portland, OR 97217, and leaving by about 9:30.
Pack some chow for yourself and the potluck, and please bring firewood! We’ll be out for the day, and plan to start heading back to town at dusk (4-5pm), though our destination should be navigable solo if you need to leave earlier. Please also be fully fueled up when you arrive… it just makes things easier for a group this size. A full tank will get you to and from our destination.
Good idea to bring snow clothes, tools, tow straps, come-along, shackles. We’ll keep it chill, and all experience levels and adventure mobiles are welcome, though 4wd and all-terrain tires will be required... and chains are always a good idea.
The love and support of the van community is unmatched, and I feel grateful every day to be a part of it. I’ve met so many special people running this shop, so this event provides an opportunity for you to meet each other.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, and please RSVP so we can know how big of a group to expect. Hope to see you there!
