So we waiving at the people not to cross. It was pretty scary but also kinda funny. It reminded me of the scene from Austin Powers when he's driving the steam roller and waiving at the security guard to get out of his way even though he's only moving at about 1mph.
In any case, I'll most likely be taking my X5M, after I get it, up to Mammoth at some point. I'll have to test it out and see how much better it performs. :-)

i can agree with taking turns a bit to fast in snow (seeing as you from LA) driving in Running Springs can be a trip these days. 6 inchs and i nearly spun out making a simple right turn.... only had 2 chains on (stupid idea)
had one time in Green Valley, i went a bit off the main road and ended up on a non plowed steep... and i mean steep downhill road with no chains and bare tires... Hill Desent saved me. counting the brakes were to the floor, i didnt stop.
I just hope the M can do better. ( i dont see anyone going full out like the test mules
)
