It was snowing pretty heavily with strong gusts of winds at times when driving home on i-80 (we left northstar at about 630pm and made it into the roseville area around 9pm) but the tires performed well. I definitely recommend the michelin pilot sport a/s tires!

Man that trip was definitely fun. We got on the hill around 10:30 and it was a bit icy. It started snowing at the same time and as the day got better, the boarding conditions were great. It was pretty windy up until 1-130. After the winds slowed down, it was awesome riding around in POW! I'm trying to get friday off from work so me and some buddies can head out there for some more POW!
