snow mode
What does snow mode actually effect on the drivetrain? Looks like we will be getting another foot and leaving early for Granite peak. I did check old posts but neither the owners manual or old posts are real explecite. Do I sense a lower gear when I push the button?

Actually, snow mode keeps you in a higher gear. My '01 LS starts off in 2nd gear when in snow mode. The higher gear reduces the torque to the rear wheels to reduce wheel spin. Some think the engine computer reduces available power and makes the gas pedal stiffer but there's no consensus here.
