Just a Snow Storm Away

Holding back as the next round of white flakes completes it's journey to the roads between us and Alaska, we are holding for a break in the weather when we will roll through British Columbia in route to the colder and dryer weather in the Yukon and Alaska. Weather predictions are for snow in northern B.C. for the weekend and into the first few days of the week. These snows can be supper slippery in the mountain passes when the temperatures are at or just below freezing.
Our Chevy Silverado is equipped with a set of 285/70/17 Cooper ST Maxx tires that have proven themselves quite capable in winter driving conditions. We tried both the ST Maxx and the Cooper AT3 but have preferred the ST Maxx when the going gets severe or the snow gets deep. The choice of snow tires is limited by vehicle but these have been pretty good in past experiences on the full sized Silverado.
Once again we will keep you apprised on our journey to Drive to Alaska during the dead winter month of December and on the wrath of darkness as the winter solstice approaches at the end of the month.
