Smile crossing the Rockies in winter

I am planning on crossing the Rockies this winter by car to get to LA, and I've never done it before. Will I be okay?

Has anyone got any advice or tips?

Default Re: crossing the Rockies in winter

I've never crossed the Rockies in winter, but I did so in spring April, and there was definitely new snow when I was there.

Even in spring, the worst snow I experienced was in Colorado, and it was still fairly light, but there were still plenty of accidents.

I'd advice you getting a four wheel drive, as the added traction is a real benefit. Even then, you still may need chains if roads are really bad.

A few other tips I can give:

- make sure you have chains and know how to install them properly.
- take emergency supplies in case you get stranded during a storm.

Good luck!
