Fired up the gravel mode and she copes with it like a beauty

Hopefully a good ski season ahead to put her through her paces!

Drove up to 2200m on the Fire road and then ski toured up to 2700m for a few early season turns. Pirelli winter tyres. Used Gravel Mode.

Looking awesome OP! By the way, curious to know how much that roof box affects range?
About 10% I think.

That's amazing. I love the look of clean cars in pristine powder.

Btw, how heavy is the salting in your area?

No salt up here as this is part of the ski resort once the lifts open. But the roads in town are salted. Never noticed a problem with previous cars

Normal tires in snowy conditions, no problem.
We don't have that many snowy days so I don't bother putting winter tires on.
It's 4WD so meh.
Only thing to consider is braking (anticipating, controlling my speed).

Just wondering why did you use gravel mode?

Be careful on downhills. Even with the winters on it doesn’t brake quickly on snow with all that weight!
