I want to get over to Jersey and wheel with some of you guys. I don't have experience and I think it would be great fun and just as much of a learing experience for me.
Deal... we can show you some simple stuff to play in... especially while my paint is still new...

I like the Charger that they upgraded us to. It handles really well in the snow and is very quiet. The leg room is unbelievable. Me thinks the Charger is more of a second car for me then the CTS

Not yet, but this 22 feet of snow we are getting right now could probably be considered that. It's not stopping me from driving around here. This thing is pretty incredible in the sleet and wet. Too bad it does 0 to 60 in 4 minutes

Well, we've been driving alot seeing different things. We've been going out to eat in different towns around here. Dillon, Silverthorne and Frisco are all within a ten minute drive from the resort. We went on this Gondola ride up the mountain, where I found out my fear of hieghts is still there a little  That was uh, fun? I think......
Now, we are going to go hunt for a tri-pod, take some pictures and hit the local sports bar/pub to watch part of the playoff game. I don't remember who's playing, but my wife wanted to do that
Tomorrow we are going on some scenic slieghride in the canyons. Snake River is tiny here, almost like a stream, compared to what it's like in Nevada/Wyoming/Utah. It's amazing how large it is in the Grand Tetons and how you can walk through it like a puddle here.
It's snowing alot here. There is supposed to be 8 to 16" by tomorrow morning, and then more tomorrow and Monday. We were in the town where the 2000+ people were stranded last week, so that was fun having everybody telling us to be careful.
Who knows if I'm going to make it home on time. It's 25 degrees here in Keystone, and 58 degrees 70 miles East in Denver. Very odd, but we are also 2500 feet higher here.
Anyway, we are going blizzard driving again. Wish me luck. Lot's of girly stuff going on here

I just decided to take our drive to get the tripod. Have you ever fishtailed down a 1/4 mile hill even though you weren't giving it gas? I had to do that twice. It felt like the car was at an angle going down the hill. I wasn't giving it any gas either. It started snowing really bad.
I checked the tires and found that the tread is probably half gone, and they are street racing tires or they look like, some Nitto ones. I have no idea if I can drive back to Denver with these tires like this in this snow. That feeling that the car was fishtailing all the way down the hill freaked me out pretty bad. It just felt like the car wasn't pointed forward.
So, I take it back. If we buy another car, it's going to have AWD or 4WD. I never want to feel that again.
I guess it was great in the snow until it started to accumulate.
