Anyone every take a class at one of those winter driving schools? I think Bridgestone runs a couple in CO. I'm doing some research and would appreciate any input if you've done one. Thanks. | ||

Just work at any high altitude ski area for the winter - you'll learn real quick  Drive slow, use a good snow tire, carry chains (plus all the other emergency goodies), and drive slow. Finally, drive slow, you can't stop any quicker than the family in the FWD Honda. To answer your question, I've not done one, Bridgestone was affilited with one in Steamboat Springs, I think BMW was also involved, but that may have all changed. I checked it out for my wife, and it wasn't cheap. I'd rather spend the money on a Bill Burke off-road adventure/lesson FWIW. | ||

Yeah, growing up in northern New England, I'm all set on the winter driving. I'm researching the schools in general, not to go there, but their business. Thanks. | ||

http://www.winterdrive.com/ That's the Bridgestone/Steamboat Springs school. As I'm typing this, it's snowing hard, with 10" expected by Sunday. I need to get the @#$%^# out of here for some warm weather!! Good luck on your research! | ||
