Since I typed my note this morning, it has snowed on the mountain pass to the west of me.
Just to give you a perspective, I live in South Eastern British Columbia approximately 3 hrs north of Spokane Washington.
When you live in the mountains of BC like I do and drive all winter for snowmobiling and Hockey you don’t screw around, even if your not going over the passes as often as I do you put on your winter tires, just to drive the valley Hwys.
In my yard a couple years back the snow was 4 ft deep, and I live in the valley bottom, my daddy from Fernie just laughs at me…
Winter in the mountains start now and end in April, and there is no fudging with tires from people who live here, no body “sneaks over a mountain pass” period, only idiots do.
I’m glad your thinking of your safety and ours my changing your plans.
