A couple of pics of my subie in tahoe.

Not the coolest or fastest or most JDM car in the community, but I cherish her. Enjoy!

Nice little shot of my dinged front fender

Nice ride, which resort did you goto? I wish I could've rented a cabin this season but not enough of my friends were free to go.

You should be fine, it all depends on how cautious you drive. I just came back from Boreal this weekend; I actually had more fun in the parking lot before we left than riding the mountain =P I'm lowered on Cusco Zero 2R's with summer tires and I made it back after the light snowfall that started mid-day. Granted it was a light layer of snow, there were still people putting chains on, so just be careful and keep a safe distance from the car in front of you.

This was in South Lake Tahoe and we boarded at Heavenly. There were close to 18,000 people at the resort this past weekend.

Running some fairly inexpensive Kuhmo all seasons (M+ S rated) and megan racing coils. I purposely adjusted the coils to be a little higher when I got the tires and rims mounted, the extra clearance. Tires handled pretty well for cheapos, but the ride in smaller streets was a bit rough on coils because they don't scrape the ice off.

I paid close to four hundred for the base rack and my sister gave me the snowboard mounts for free from her jeep.

Thanks for all the compliments!
