    Is this going to be a winch fest? I won't be getting winter tires and not sure how well my tires will do.

    The requirements seem to imply that there will be carnage™

    Nah, this one is safe, you do better have fresh tires if they are all season. But it’s not going to be like Rays Place

    It really depends on snow fall amounts and temperatures.



    Last year in January, we only got more snow from there :rolleyes:

    Snow bank onto the highway was a challenge alone.
