Talking Winter 'X' Games... (9 pics)

Couldn't resist taking the X out yesterday for a little playing in the 26.9" of fresh snow!!
I didn't get around to picking up snow tires this season, so I'm running the stock all-season Michies... they're weren't bad, considering I was blasting through an unplowed parking lot with 2+ feet of untracked snow

Here are some of my favorite shots...

Pulling out of my condo's parking garage:

Nope. I think the bottom of the front bumper is lower than any part of the undercarriage, so I just plowed my way through. It was quite easy, actually...

That must have been SO much FUN. Did you have the traction control on or off?

GREAT PICS.

It was indeed an absolute BLAST! (As you can see by the big grin on my face in a few of the photos... )
Usually I turn the DSC off for the deep/steep/slippery stuff, but I experimented a bit with it on yesterday, and I really didn't have any problem that way either...

I bet you scared the crap out of that guy who was walking down the street...

btw, the last pic would have been the perfect time to try out the headlight washers !!!
