It's good to have multiple options on a place to stay, but I was sure wishing I had just driven the X5 like my wife told me to when I pulled in to this parking lot...

You should have seen the stares I was getting from a group standing outside the bar in the evening after skiing when I drove the car out of this parking lot. At that point the tires had zero grip because they were now cold, so I could barely even move the car!! When the tires were warm they weren't too bad, on this flat surface. But no way I was going to make it up the hill where my buddy's cabin is, so he came down in the SUV to fetch me




But ya - summer sports car sized tires are really bad in the snow!!
