We got 6-8 inches of fresh snow today in southern Oregon, not typical for this area. Decided to venture off on my favorite testing ground (a series of mostly-maintained logging and OHV trails).

Rising above 3000ft above sea level was where it got tricky. The snow here is very wet, very heavy, and it doesn’t melt or compact, so 6-8 inches poses as big an obstacle as 12-14 inches of soft powder.

I slipped into a ditch trying to avoid a fallen tree, am thankful for these Baja Boss A/Ts. They have excellent snow, ice and wet performance. Decided to throw my chains on after that to eliminate any chances of getting stuck. The deepest snow I drove through was about 10”. Not very deep but again, thick, like mud but far more slippery.

I’m also very impressed with the Tremors AdvanceTrac, the drive modes are very helpful. No matter how hard I tried to get it to lose control it always found a way to correct for me. Always bring a buddy, and if you don’t have a buddy atleast bring recovery boards or have a winch (two items on my wish list).

I didn’t get that many pictures, but wanted to share the story more than anything. Cheers

Totally agree on the Baja Boss A/Ts. Pretty great tires for snow use. Looks like you had a good time out there!
 
Chains on the front? Looks great with chains on all four. What’s your front setup?
Yeah it doesn’t make sense to put chains on only front or rear. Lack of traction affects all 4 tires.

What do you mean by front setup?

They are wicked, I’m going to drive these into the ground.

It was a blast! I can’t explain what it feels like to be in a situation where at any point you could be in deep sh*t if you make a mistake, but then you get to the top and realize what you accomplished. Feels good.

It does!
 
One of these pics need to be in the next Tremor of the Month contests... great photos!

I agree. It occurs to me that @PNWTremor could choose one and enter this month's contest which is active and runs for another week. Unless they won last month and I'm too forgetful to remember that? 💩🧠 😅
