VCross,
I would have to agree with what everyone is saying here. The VX is very capable in the snow right out of the box. It's a ton of fun and a four wheel power slide in an empty parking lot is always a good time.
I'm over in the Aspen valley right now, but I did live in Telluride for three and a half years, so if you do head that way and want the low down let me know.
