Our ski house (rental) in VT is still without power since last week's ice storm, so I don't know if we can make it up there this weekend at all.
I got a brand new Burton Supermodel in the basement crying for snow. And we're trying to plan out a ski trip for February - Steamboat maybe... a direct flight from NYC is like $270 right now.

VehiGAZ, get out here NOW. We've been getting hammered by snow and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. We had a little break today, but it's supposed to start snowing again tonight, and it's not supposed to let up until after the weekend some time. I don't know how Steamboat is fairing, but it's all good in the Aspen valley.

Well, I had to rescue 3 cars yesterday... 2 from my street. If you don't have 4WD you're not getting to the end of the street. (They don't plow it.)
I drove my VX back and forth on it and with these big wide Nitto Mud grapplers the entire street looked like it had a CAT TRACK go over it.
I went and built a 5' chain with different ends on it so I could get out the little cars that have no place for a strap.
People get excited when they get pulled out by my VX, they've never seen or heard of one, and want one. Especially when I don't break loose at all while pulling them through the snow (4-lo).

Your a good man, taylor!
Around here we dont help the tourons leave, we try to make 'em stay till all thier dough is gone
Except the two that almost T boned me yesterday while taking Snowtrooper Jr to daycare...they can leave!
It's about 18 degrees with a few inches of new snow last night, and forcast for a steady snow untill Xmas AM!
Here's to keeping all 4 on the road!
Best,

Got home from work just now (early day) and had a box of cookies on my porch... Nice old lady gave them as a thanks for getting her unstuck.
We're supposed to get snow in a couple hours with it running through the day tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be helping people get unstuck on the way to my Mah's tomorrow. Damn city plow budgets got cut.

had ice last night.. about 2am i hear honking outside my window.. and i dont exactly live in a populated area.. so out the door i go to find like 5 cars within 200 ft of my driveway... a buick turned sideways across both lanes and a crowd of people standing around trying not to fall down.. the guy had lost control and came to a stop sideways in the middle of the road.. but was "too freakin scared" to try to move his car (his back wheels were ON the bank of a creek that dropped maybe 2 ft to the creek
so i salted the whole road around him and we finally talked him into trying to get his car going again.. so after taking about 10 minutes to turn his car so it was back in a lane again he proceeded to drive down the road at less than 5mph.. as he drove away a civic going up the hill started to spin its tires... so another civic tries to pass it in the other lane (double yellow the whole way.. twisty back road).. and it starts spinning its tires.. so then there were matching civics stuck side by side blocking the road.. i smacked my forehead.. asked the guy in the 2nd civic what the $*^! he was thinking and then salted for them too.. then went inside before anyone else could annoy the crap out of me...

Well, my winter story really sucks. I just went out to my beloved VX to find the car port has collapsed on it. THEN, I hear our governor, yes the one that has been in the news with the Christmas crap has just declared a state of emergency so doesn't that effect how my home owners insurance pay's? I have never had a claim before so I have no idea.
But that aside, this rig kicks @ss in the snow, my god what an incredible snow vehicle
