Mountain run in the snow.

[The Russian]

Some people prefer to go skiing and such, i'd rather spend my entire day like this. Wish that the road was closed off so that there was not the constant scetchyness of possible oncoming cars but it was still fun.

nice vid. What king of tires/ rims on the car?

[RocketSurgeon]

Looks like a lot of fun.

Maybe not all buffs are too bad :p (yes Ram)

Throw up some pics of the Nova

[The Russian]

I just have the S4 wheels with Yokohama W-drive tires on it, unfortunatly the thinest i can put on is 225's and in really deep snow its a bit floaty, but otherwise they are amazing.

edit: here is a pic

[Jibberific]

wow if you could drive like that and easily stay in control, i'm a lot less nervous about driving up to the mountain in the snow this week

don't get too confident out there. I have a feeling that the russian has done this a few times

Edit: P.s. Nice vid!

[RocketSurgeon]

I actually currently live in the Middle East, but come back to Denver for Christmas and Summer.

I'll be a freshman next year and should have a b5 S4 by then so we should definitely set something up in the summer or fall

[sti4now]

Haha thanks, and yeah, i live in boulder right next to the rockies :) its what i live for... but yeah be careful, just a few weeks back i ended up nose first in a guard rail on one of my mountain runs and needed a whole new front end. cost me up to $900 on parts.

[SykoraA4]

thats awesome man, i wish i lived out there, i also wish i had the skill and balls to drive like that. nice vid!

[Naudi_Mat]

Hey bro, make sure to stop by the regional forums and check out the rocky mountain section. We have meets in the boulder area.

[Wyo_A4]

Nice video. What road was that?

I'm in Laramie but i'd come down for a meet in boulder/denver/ft collins whenever.

I was also going to go look at an avant in boulder sometime soon.

[Naudi_Mat]

Well next time we get a meet organized you should come on down. We should start having meets again in the next couple months. But it's just hard with the unpredictable weather we have here in CO.

[onceover]

your camera must hate you

[Naudi_Mat]

To the OP what camera mount did you use?

[mainer0311]

we got 8 inches of fresh powder last night. I put 70 miles on the a4 just driving around in the middle of the night.

[anmagro]

Nothin quite like goin sideways with Quattro baby. haha.

[kneel]

I NEED TO COME OUT THE COLORADO!! No roads here in NY that i know of like that.
Nice driving, i want to play too

[The Russian]

But it's just hard with the unpredictable weather we have here in CO.

wouldn't it be more fun in the snow? i doubt many people have FWD audi's up here. But I'll stay tuned for some meets, and post up some for the CU Sport Car Club, so that maybe some of you would like join us for some fun.


and for the camera mount, I have the StickyPod with 4 suction cups, belive its the Pro Pack or something

[4ringAR]

If you have a helmet (snow tires = pro street division, which requires a helmet) you should come up to some of the ice races on Georgetown Lake. I plan to race Jan 2 and 4, for sure and some other days if I can.

Russian as always in his style :)

[A4Rob]

Cool video. Thanks for sharing!

[diablooffire03]

Ide rather not see how fast I can go on a snowy road. But it was a cool video.

[SpoolinPelican]

I miss driving like that in the snow. Of course where i moved from they are getting some crazy snow and where I moved to, nothing.

I agree with you on having fun in the snow, but a lot of people don't wanna go out in the cold. At least that's the complaint I hear most.

And thanks for the info, I also have the sticky pod pro pack. That was one of my Christmas presents to myself.

[onemoremile]

Cool.

Your paint reminds me of Umbro shorts.

[maxspeed]

I NEED TO COME OUT THE COLORADO!! No roads here in NY that i know of like that.
Nice driving, i want to play too

uhh, come out to the adirondacks, ill show you tons lol

[bassed]

uhh, come out to the adirondacks, ill show you tons lol

They don't have 3k of elevation gain in 3 miles, it's not the same. I drive through the Adirondacks a couple times a year, they're not the same as CO, MT, UT, CA, WY, OR, WA. You have mountains out there, not mole hills of 5k feet, out west you're at 6k to 13k with switch backs, not bends.


Roads don't drop 1k feet into isolated glacier formed lakes in NY.


Those photo's are in the Sierra Nevada in June(yup June), not the Rockies, Wasatch, Teton's or Cascades; all of which have elevations of 12k+, CA, CO, WA have peaks at 14K + . The road "The Russian" is on will most likely have blast control happening very shortly, will receive over 300" on avg. a season and is nothing like anything found in the Adirondacks in any quasi comparable way.

You talking about when they throw sticks of dynamite or w.e into the mountain to cause avalanches? They do that shit so early, first time you hear it your like wtf?

[bassed]

In all the states I mentioned plus Montana etc... I'm talking about the avalanche control done with both dynomite and the howitzer stations they blast mortor rounds from, they literally shoot a mortor round at a face to produce a slide. I should have taken a shot of the one I passed everyday in Tahoe, it's they same thing you'd see in Utah or Colorado etc...

It definetly shocks people when they see it or hear it for the fist time.

Yeah, we have a couple of those hese in CO, but they are starting to just drop charges from helicopters to cause an avalanche.

[le91688]

[bassed]

Since I mentioned a howitzer and I spelled it mortor in the next sentence what would you presume?

[nynoah]

Hows the FZR 4/6 treating you? I was the guy who built that bike a few years back for my Ex.

Hmm I dont really think you have to sign up, at least I didnt need to sign up when I went last year.

hahaha no shit, was her name Megan? it was all flat black? I got it from her with a blown motor, cylinder 1 had a great tulip valve display lol. Its good I swapped in an '02 R6 rear end to shove a fatter tire on it.

[slopoke]

Nice vid... Im really diggin the sound of your exhaust...

Test Pipe?

No muffler or resonator?
How loud is it when driving normal or cruising @60mph on highway?
