While all-terrain tires have a better tread pattern for snow, I recommend winter tires because the compound is more flexible in lower temperatures. My experience driving through many winters in Canada is that all-season tires do very poorly compared to winters, and that a 2wd vehicle with winter tires can out-brake an AWD with all-season tires, but both start out just as well.
added a eu2200 honda generator to my winter setup, essential piece when there is no sun and you gotta keep moving. lessens the stress of checking the batteries so much which is super annoying, if its getting low, ill throw it on for a couple hours to top off the batteries, might be good to consider to keep the victron system pushing! thanks for the video!!
nice ski trip. I am taking notes from the more experienced travelers as I plan to do something similar next winter to get full use of an Epic ski pass.
this adventure is the exact thing I love doing with my van. I overnight at Carson Pass area and Kirkwood is my favorite resort. Have yet to be snowed in at Kirkwood but I am ready. I made a video about my Kirkwood winter van camping adventure as well.
