After leaving the Reno VX crew, it was time to drive back to Mammoth and try to beat the storm. What better way to get aquainted with my Dragon than to take a journey in the ice and snow....
The dive out of Reno was dry.

But heading into Carson City, it started to snow. Nice big flakes, a great test for the Dragon and me.
I have driven alot of vehicles in the snow, living up here for five years now, and I gotta say that I never felt so comfortable and in control. There was the slight reservation that I was driving my own new $13.5K Dragon, but that wore off pretty quickly, especially with the Nitto shoes!
Made it to Mammoth without any problems.

Went to the store, and by then it was getting dark and dumping! Drove the last 4 miles up to the resort and my Chalet.

The Dragon definately was the right choice for where I live!
Unloaded everything and went to the guest paking garage to make love to the Dragon one more time for the night. I couldn't resist deicing the VX and taking a few more pix.

I can't thank all of you enough for the advice, indulgence and fellowship!
Here's to meeting more of you and sharing in the VX universe!
Best,
