Dam straight, absolute beasts in the snow. Back in my late 20’s and 30’s I was a sking fanatic. The more it snowed, the more I drove chasing fresh powder. During nor’easters, when it was recommended to stay off the roads, I was heading north during the heart of the blizzard. My boss and I had an understanding that if we had a major blizzard I would be using vacation time. I can’t count the times I drove to Killington at night during a blizzard, folded down the back seat of the Buru wagon, and crashed in the back of the car in the parking lot. The snow plows would wake me up, I’d move the car to a spot already plowed, go into the lodge to freshen up, down a cup of coffee and a couple snickers bars, and be waiting for the first chairlift to carve turns in the fresh virgin powder. I drove that car through the worst conditions possible and never got stuck. Gotta love Subarus.
