Chains?
Do you put chains on your trailer? What kind? Are they the same as regular truck chains? We hope we don't need them, but want to be prepared. Thanks!

I would guess 5% that go up in the snow have never driven in snow so there is a lot of learning issues too. It only takes one to make a mess of things. Plenty of mountain curves have no guardrail. NY probably everyone has had some practice on the flats before attempting any hills or mountains. Chains tend to keep the speed down and that really helps the newbies stay on the road.
I've never encountered chains being required in upstate NY and we get a lot of snow. Is this only a Left Coast thing with all their crazy mountains?
