Does being called to make a trail in someone's driveway so they could get out because the plow couldn't get through good enough?

I got out today for some winter wheel'n. I'm amazed at what the stock Rubicons can do/ what I'm learning to do with it.

Common, some of you guys have got to have some good snow wheel'n pictures by now!

I'm hooked on playing in the winter wonderland now. After being out of province for a week I HAD to get out. Here are some pictures from today's adventure.

No pics and no fun yet! No snow to speak of, only about 1 foot, and yesterday it almost hit 0 deg C!! The lakes are freezing over slowly so maybe by next month we can at least go out on the ice and go some places.

earlier this year i took a week off so i could take my girlfriend to see her parents in creston, bc. early one morning i decided to go venture and find some trails and i come out to this flat of fresh snow so i go creeping in and i had the tunes on loud and kept going steady well i didn't realize what i was driving on and all of a sudden the ground which turned out to be ice gave way beneath me and my jeep was in water on a steep angle just below the passenger side door window. apparently (once i got my ass out of there, very carefully) i was on a field with a wide trench dug through it, i guess a farmers field, but there was no gate but it would explain the flat treeless area out in the bush, and the drive to and from creston was treacherous coming over the southern rocky passes in this past january, between the snows storms the black ice and avalanche control crews shutting down stretches of hiway activate avalanches i'd say that's the most fun ive ever had driving in the winter

Quick clip of last weekend. Snow was a bit grainy and wasn't packing all that well. It's going up to 7C today with rain witch should make conditions perfect this afternoon.
