Thanks all.

@jmills115 - no snowflake, but M+S means mud and snow. Is it different? I didn't think so, but I'm no tire expert.

@JohnL - thx. I've been driving up and down LCC for years understanding the rules in the graphic below from UDOT. The hotel clerk just spooked me because, like many of us, I don't want to lose any time on the hill because of a travel problem. I think she's mistaken, tbh.

Anyone want a ride?

Hoping to meet some of you tomorrow.

Best,
David

Hope to see you there! And I think it's impossible to "mess up a group" if you do want to make the morning meetup. We're not that organized! :ogbiggrin:

I’m parking at Albion. If you get disorganized early and take the tow rope. Look for me in the single line on Sunnyside. If anyone needs a guide to get oriented on that side and want to ski mostly lower-angle untracked/trees at a decent clip… You can pm me too.

Just pulled into the lot. 8:30am. Looks like I’m early. Easy drive today. I’ll be in line at Sunnyside by 845 or so.

Hi friends. I popped into the Peruvian bar but I don't see any of you here right now. I'm going to head down the canyon before the roads get crazy.

Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing day! Outstanding group!

Would love to connect regarding plans for tomorrow.

I'm staying down in cottonwood heights, and I have a car if anyone needs a ride pending plans.

Thanks so much talk soon

At hotel - did my usual rent an AWD LCC approved vehicle, but desk clerk says with the deep snow coming chains required as well. Debating SKI BUS or go buy chains. Anyone else staying at the HYATT PLACE COTTONWOOD?

Advice?

Thx!
You’re fine. Don’t buy chains for a rental AWD. M+S are adequate and pass in both Utah and CA. Optimized for grip off road.

Snow tires with snowflake symbol are a bit better in snow. I think Oregon requires snowflake.

My AWD has M+S AND also snowflake. These are rare. When I bought it in Auburn CA it had M+S only so I asked I asked if it would pass chain checkpoints. They did not know I said I would not buy it. They let me call CALTRANS as I was new to CA. Passes so I bought the Highlander.
Udot lists tire & car survival gear suggestions. The amusing one was “ A driver experienced in driving in snow” lol
You’re fine. Don’t brake hard coming down
and leave good room in front.

I got @Jim Kenney down from Alta yesterday with out killing him !
