I agree. I have limited 4x4 experience but a lot of experience with 2wd in snow. Which is useless oop here...

I think you need more than 2wd...

I think you need more than 2wd...

Long ago I was off on a ski trip and we got snow bound in the rental van on the Drummochter pass in Scotland, with a host of other vehicles. The powers that be sent a rescue train into the pass the next afternoon with a plough on the front. The double blade was nearly as high as the top of the train. We could hear it punching through snow drifts a long time before it reached us. Boom, reverse, boom, rinse and repeat. An unbelievable sight seeing that train come into view firing snow 15 mtrs into the air.
The vehicles stayed buried for two weeks........


2wd is fine if the snow is not too deep. Fiat Pandas can do amazing things in reverse.. If you do get stuck it's easy to jump out and spin it around 180o.

As for the muppets in the op. D'oh. Technology still cannot trump stupidity.

Indeed. I've only ever drowned bikes but came very close to drowning my van in a flash flood a couple of years ago. It got bellied on some uplifted tar seal leaving me to ponder how far the water would rise up the doors. A bit bum puckering truth be told.

Fucking stupid things. The get stuck and grind deep grooves up dirt tracks making it a drag for dirtbikes which don't cause that damage and its uncomfortable and wastes time. A pox on them.

And quads.
