haha where do you live?? in tahoe it storms, the roads are plowed maybe once every 6 hours during the storm and thats just to clear the powder, not expose asphalt. then it usually takes a day or two for the snow on the road to melt. if you are less fortunate and dont get that much snow then im sorry, but your profile says whistler so i dont know why you dont know this. i probably drove on snow to resorts at least 15 times this year
