    "Wow Jimmy, deep snow! Did you have any issues with snow piling up in front of your rig or did the chains take you through it?"

    Nah, no issues with the snow. Several people, who weren't running chains that day, later bought them after seeing me drive through everything. We had a couple vehicles on that trip which needed some assistance with a hill or two... and we had a couple folks without chains who had no issues at all. Lift made a difference as well. That was my first time out in deep snow, so I wanted to see how well chains worked. They work great. I carry them along, but don't strap them on unless the snow is pretty deep.

    All of them Funrover!

    @Jimmy: I have chains but have not used them yet. This year I will.

    DrOldUnit: how about a nice dirt road instead? No tilts no slopes no ditches, just loads of fun!

    Actually, there is a side road in the Rampart Range area where I had a great time snow wheeling last year. Banzai-ed through a nice trough. Couldn't slide into any trees or ditches, good place to learn how to drive in the snow or test things out.

    That's a pretty good description of Pole Hill. Oh, there are trees, but no real ditches to speak of. And with chains, you'd be fine.

    So they are trees indifferent to my plight and may be displeased if I disrespect them. I will try to keep my headlight covers away from their midsections.

    Exactly! But they're not actively evil.
