I understand that snow does not = off road, but my '85 with its
taller-than-average suspension does well in the dirt.  I get to sample, ugh,
make that drown in snow in Minnesota this winter and I feel fairly
confident.  My worry would be strong cross winds as they could push me off a
slick road.

I recently purchased an '85 full camper.  If I put on good snow tires, what
are my chances of using this vehicle as a base for skiing and snowshoeing?

Will it handle OK, or should I stay out of the mountains until spring?
