Default Snow mode

We got our turn for a blizzard in Edmonton today (not as bad as you guys in ON). I found that the best combination was Snow mode - ON, VCS - OFF.
This allowed me to steer the back end with the throttle, without overdoing it.

Anyone else try it?

Yeah, we got hammered today in Edm! I actually left it on normal. I tried it in "snow mode" but it cut too much power to the wheels. I'm fortunate to have the awd is 350 and I must say...it made driving in this weather fun! Normally with my previous car, a rear wheel drive bimmer, I would have to park across the steet, walk into my cul de sac to get to my house, just to avoid getting stuck...not this year!! I blasted through the deep stuff no problem It's days like today that I'm thankful for getting the AWD.

as long as there's no snow or ice on the road, you should be fine. as long as the temp is above 2-3 degrees C, i'm not worried.
