I live in Wisconsin and for the first time down south Wisco we are getting enough snow to powder ski. Right now there's 5 inches on the ground and another foot pridicted.... my local resort is 30 minutes away.....I drive a Toyota Camry......should I try to tough it out and go or go some other time in like 10 years when we get this much snow at once...... I have school but no classes I can't miss today. I don't have snow tires and I don't want to fuck up my car....thanks!!!-Ian

just take it slow on the road and you'll be good. most of the time the people that slip out in snow or get stuck are the ones freaking out the most. And by the time you get done, im assuming you'll ski the night too since its wiso, the roads will be treated decently anyway

I live right outside chicago and we don't have any snow, for sure make the drive. Good snow comes very rarely out here

It's 11:30 and you (A) haven't left for the mountain, and (B) haven't left for school yet? This dilemma must really be killing you.

Go to the mountain.

This may be an overstatement considering south WI.

My Jetta with a 5 speed has gotten me through some serious snow before surprisingly like a foot + on the ground. Not well or up any seriously steep hills but it has worked fine. Ice is a whole different story though can't drive for shit on it

Tire chains on your front tires and you'll be good to go in blue ice. Any good tire shop will have them. Some might even let you return them if it turns out you don't need them.
