As for getting hassled.... most of the time they'll just wave you by. They know. But in the case you do get stopped they'll ask if or check if your tires are M/S. If they are the next question will be.... "you got chains in there" Most times they will not check. But it's good to have chains.
My car has no badging on it so I've had them go... "that's a subaru? that's AWD?" But I've never not been waved through.
My car is not dumped but it is slightly lowered and obviously modified.

Anyone down for maybe a mid week trip to Bear Valley next week. I can get tickets for $45 with my pass.
I see 14 inches in the last 48 hours, possible on Sat, definate on sunday and pretty much snow from Sunday through next Sat.
This weekend is gonna be SICK. I need to get a camera so damn bad. And next week and next weekend are gonna be coocoo but I think the wife has me booked next weekend so a day trip mid week may be in order. I say bear because my gear is up there.
Anyone that's planning on hitting up Bear Valley this weekend meet me up there. Be in a gold/tan Colorado. 2 guys. One blonde about 6'0. The other dark hair about 5'10". I'll have brown jacket, black pants and a helmet with a pin up on the side of it. Brother has a green jacket, tan pants and a white helmet. Meet us up there and maybe I'll give you a personal tour.

I never used it cause I always had my breaker bar in the car for that purpose. And yea, it figures that the snow decides to come when we have my baby shower one weekend and yours the following weekend. Hopefully the trend continues so we can kill it the weekend of the 6th.
Oh Snap!!!!

Went up to Bear Valley yesterday and it was great up there. No lines at the lifts, would say there were about 200 people there all day at the max, snow was great and the weather couldn't be better. Like others have said, next week is suppose to bring a ton of snow. My dad was told by a BV worker that they're expecting 5-12ft of snow from Sunday to mid-week. Might be going up to North Star Monday, don't feel like getting stuck on the road though haha
I still haven't been able to get out there and ride yet! Money has been too tight this year, Got my room reserved for the horizon 2/5 through the 8th though. Can't wait to get out there...

There is gonna be more powder out there after this week than one could even dream for.
I am packing the car now, I am for going the snowboard racks for this trip because its just the wife and I.
So if anyone has been thinking of trying a snowboard raqck to see how it works, or just needs a rack to borrow this week let me know.
Drive safe this week everyone as its gonna be crazy.

i know this looks rediculous but insurance just paid $3275 to fix the front end and repaint everything so now that the starry night is gone this is what i did to protect it this week.

Have a great time hitting up all those resorts. I'll be up at North Star tomorrow, sounds like fun to snowboard while its snowing, just hope its not too windy. More worried about getting up there and back than snowboarding haha
