I was driving through Mt Hood this weekend. Spring is already is at full swing up there. Snow piles mixed with salt and dirt on road sides were melting forming rivers of mud on freeway and falling snow was being constantly mixed with this mess what resulted into section of slushy mud between the lanes. So, when upcoming traffic was hitting this slush at 60-70mph then buckets and buckets of the slush (mixed with salt and small rocks) were flying into my windshield at crazy speeds (slush speed accelerated by upcoming traffic + my speed) blinding me for 1-3 seconds. I think I got couple dozens of micro scratches on the windshield... I hope they won't grow into something bigger 😬 Sorry, I didn't took any pictures of that madness cause the drive was a bit too sketchy to get distracted. This is a picture from the side of the plowed(!) forest road leading to a campground I was scouting that day (why in the world somebody would plow 5 miles worth of forest road in the middle of nowhere to a tiny three-spot campground? 😲 100% of forest roads I've tried this winter season were not plowed and were under chest-deep layer of snow).

Got about 10 inches in Colorado last night and the LC just shrugged it off. It’s pretty hard to break traction in fresh snow if you use the MTS in AUTO.

Long time no see! Lets resurrect this thread. I go first 🤩

Today, on our way home from kinda fishing/campfiring (at a lower elevation) we've made a bit of a hook and stopped by to stare at first(?) snow of the season (at a higher elevation).

On semi-related note, on our way home engine temperature was around 3/8 of the gauge, normally it is dead center for me. Maybe related to snow stuck in radiator and between engine oil pan and skid plate (it is transmission on the photo below, I was too lazy to dig all the way to the engine) 🤔 Oh, and of course Toyota safety sense went bonkers once snow covered all the sensors 😅

In action last winter at the Lionshead garage. The LC bumps the warning hanger going down into that garage with the skis on top, so I try to get there early enough to park up top.

Blizzak DM-V2s. We don’t always have a choice as to when we go over Vail Pass and these tires are the real deal.
