road trip - rent or take the X5?

[AZX54.4]

c4racer: I was gonna say if you dont take your X I want to rent your snow wheels! HAHA. Wise choice! You will enjoy the X much more than a rental!

I am heading up to Mammoth on Sunday and it looks like some serious snow is going to be coming down. I am running on the 255-55 18's with michelin mxv4 all seasons. I think I will have to pick up some chains! I am almost wondering if we should see if we can reschedule our stay in mammoth to mid week??

well that depends if you want to ski the pow - I shoot for the eye of the storm myself when my schedule allows it. You should be fine with those tires btw.

Oh course I want pow pow!!!! I think we will be getting in at just the right time. Sometimes it doesnt work out the best at Mammoth to be on the mtn when it is snowing because the winds get really high and they close a lot of the lifts.

Now the next question. Which X5 do we take? The 3.0 with all seasons or the newer 4.4 and put the all seasons from the 3.0 on that one because it is ridding on summers....haha

ah to have such choices!! Enjoy. I know what you mean about the winds - same deal at one of my favorite places Squaw. I am going to have to find a day to get up to enjoy some fresh pow next week tho. This weekend looks pretty dicey due to the winds. Monday / Tuesday may be pretty good. Sounds like a heavy storm coming thru at least up north over the next 3-4 days and maybe longer.
