Rich - I tool around very well in the snows of PA (under 18') with 4
blizzacks on my 87 westy, the weight of the westy sure helps traction.

YMMV

Subject: How does a Westy Camper Handle in the Snow?

I recently purchased an '85 full camper.  If I put on good snow tires, what
are my chances of using this vehicle as a base for skiing and snowshoeing?

Will it handle OK, or should I stay out of the mountains until spring?
