18 FXT premium with Baja Designs “fog lights” and 225/60/17 continental terrain contact A/T “winter tires” in wrx wheels, 19” RSB rest is stock.
Went up to South Lake Tahoe Via 5 to 50 on Friday, got caught in some crazy gridlock, Waze took us on some unplowed surface streets in the apple hill area. X-mode/ hill descent control combo worked great, had no problems with traction, smooth and steady was the key. Tahoe had blizzard like conditions over the weekend, no problems driving around town and unplowed streets. The driveway to the Airbnb had 1.5’ of powder which the Fxt had no problems dealing with, a 2nd gen CX-5 was actually stuck on the street the first night we were there, it was a slight uphill, so I had to make a 3 point turn and turn around to access the cabin from another street.
On the way back, we decided to take 207 to the 395 through the Easter sierras, temps were hovering around 8-11 degrees for the most part until we got to Bishop CA. It was a beautiful snowy/ Ice/ slushy drive. Glad to be back home to sunny for now LA
