Is this the same place as my second picture I posted, just before they paved the turnout and added power lines? Mine is the road up to Mt. Baldy.

Colorado has lots of dirt, only problem is its all washboard, and potholes that can get about 10 inches deep. Not good for my car which is only 5.5 inches from the frame. And our plans were to not go on the dirt, but look at this!


The dirt is smoother than most roads I know! So we couldn't help ourselves, haha.

But yeah, this was my first time driving on dirt with my FC, and its a whole new experience. Steering is so delayed and since you can control sliding alot easier, it seemed almost impossible to spin out, even on the downhill hairpins. I really wanna rally my car now... like seriously! Haha

Was the top by the ski lifts icy at all? And was the road free of debris such as rocks and dirt?

i made it 30 miles to my house in the middle of the worst blizzard we had all season.
but i had studded snow tires.
but it still did amazing compared to everyone else.
feels good passing a subaru in a snow storm : )

Depends, with my summer tires, i like to not call it understeer and more "no-steer" When it starts to slide off the road, there really is no stopping it (I haven't tagged a curb before tho) But once I put on my Hankook All-Winter Studded Tires, its a whole new story. I've even touge'd with them in the snow. I'll fly by Subies and other SUVs like its nothin. Most fun day for me is haulin *** up the mountain in my FC with studded tires, and then snowboarding all day... sliding around the parking lot when we're done and driving home.
