Yeah, so we were on our way to Baker this morning at like 8:20 on highway 452. It is 55mph there and this car is going like 35-40. Someone else passed them, and the other lane wasn't too bad snow condition wise, so we decide to go for it. We get over, get ahead of them, but then we hit a big patch of snow/slush. My friend was driving, and we tried to get back over but the front tire hooked up and spun us sideways at about 55mph. We slid sideways across both lanes, then spun around more and went into some thorn bushes on the side of the road. Then we're going sideways and the right/back of the car hit a wood post of a fence and we flipped 3/4 the way over, ending on the driver's side. We had 4 pairs of skis in the back near our heads, which got thrown around, but amazingly we we're both 100% fine. No injuries at all. We had to climb up and out the passenger door. The car is pretty fucked, and we didn't get to ski, which sucks cuz it sounds like it was good. So if you saw a grey Toyota suv on the side of the road, that was us almost dying. Anyway, how was it up there today?

Even with AWD I still drive 15-20mph slower than speed limits when road conditions aren't great.

Where did you wreck at? The road was bad enough that I didnt mind riding in a car that was going 40ish mph. It was really icy and slushy in spots so yeah....I have seen enough cars wrecked that when there's snow on the road and its not super even it works a lot better just to stay in your lane and enter the lineup of cars. Glad to hear both you guys are alright.
The day was really good too. Comparable to the snow we got thanksgiving weekend last year, except no sun.
