KungKalmarOur seasons are longer but conditions are mostly the same. Flat parts have temperatures bouncing on both sides on freezing point so everything is ice. worst case scenario is weather going from +5c and rain to -15c and back in few days. North is windy so few days after snow you are most likely going to ski on ice if you want to go off-piste.
you guys have lower elevation mountains over there in Viking land or is it because of the weather pattern & location ?
BradFiAusNzCoCaYou all have studded tires. What you afraid of?? Driving on ice is just a part of Finland driving.
Studless friction tyres are quite popular nowdays. I don't know how they perfrom under normal cars but the EV was sliding like a hockey puck on them. Complete trash. I have studded. I said earlier that I don't mind some ice because that is just normal winter but I would rather avoid full sheet of shining ice. And other people are monkeys.

Ski resorts on real mountains are mostly under 1500m from sea level. Treeline is very low. For example the lower chair at Riksgränsen starts where the treeline is. I don't know where the wind comes from.

i got studded tires on my dart and i rip my ebrake on every turn lol. moisture level in the rockies is pretty minimal so overall its pretty chill to drive around town. def get a shit ton of tourists who get rental cars that dont have snow specific tread on any knowledge of driving in snow and its a concern lol. a group from georgia came the other day and said they had driven on dirt a few times before and were shocked how different it was to drive on snow. said they spun out and were thankful they didnt hit anything. gotta look out for the other guy lol

Studded is the way. I have grip usually when I need it but my Audi still goes sideways when I want it to go if traction control is off.
Opening weekend complete. More plans to open up more skiing in the next two weeks, ownership is in town and on site all week, endless work projects, training, and helping rookies learn, etc. This is gonna be a busy as fuck but hopefully awesome winter.

Snow usually just blows away in CO. Know people in WP that use AT type tires all the time. Roads out in Oregon turn into an ice rink with traffic. Have had good luck with and and the blizzacks or studs on a 2wd
