Taking C7 skiing

We in VT must not know how to handle winter! While my C7 is hibernating for the winter,

A yellow C7 with NJ plates was in the second row of the parking lot at Sugarbush in Warren VT.

Even an extra pair of skis in the back!

Try that in a C8! Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 winter tires...

With those tires it can out perform many vehicles on the road as long as the snow isn't deep enough to reach the under belly. The roads are rarely full of snow anyway since the plows get to them so quickly. The salt bath is the only bad part. They are designed for any weather.

Yup.......that's the way to do it. Alpines or Blizzaks. On all 4 wheels if you're a full time C7 Winter driver.

I'll give the owner of the yellow C7 credit, he's not afraid to drive in the winter.

But, seriously, appropriate tires and why not? Good for him/her!!!

At least you've got a nice lift to put yours on, I also have an advantage lift. Looks like the Jersey driver/skier has fun with his/her toys.
