im with tom on that.. i plowed through 18" or so of snow no problem at all for a few miles until i got to civilization, once there, i was on maybe 5-6 inches and was okay.. once i got to main roads where there was a 1-2 inches packed down, the VX was a little squirrly at times, once even got to maybe a 15º angle on me, but always a touch of gas and a very slight steering correction and she was straight as an arrow
