Now having done it both in the summer and snow, I'm pretty much Chinaman'd out...forever. The vast majority of scrapes on my truck (and I've been plenty of places) came from this one trail. The next time somebody asks me if I've ever been up Lefthand I might just say "Yep. Have you ever been up Chinaman, in the snow?"
A few favorites in the photos:
Carnage Canyon, with me standing down in the rocks for scale:
This spot probably matched the summer run the closest, no snow:
Alternately, here's one of the harder trail obstacles practically covered in snow:

Awesome! Glad you guys all made it ok, sounds like there was no major damage.
Wait a few days and see if there's a "How do I un-bend my ENGINE skid" post from Jess at one point both of her front tires were off the ground and she was pivoting and sliding on her engine skid as the winch pulled her off. I wish I had taken pictures of that, we were too busy hooking up tree savers and snatch blocks...
