While I didn't drive over Carson Pass last weekend, over the past 3 years, I have driven over the pass in all kinds of weather. In general, I can get the chains on in less than 5 minutes, and the van handles extremely well in the snows. At times, defrosting the front window is a problem as is collection of snow on the wipers, but I would not hesitate to take the van out in even the worst of weather. |
