Big Sierra snow storm no problem!

[A Land Rover Forever]

Deepish Snow, Lake Tahoe Saturday, March 2. Off-road setting, all terrain mode, Air suspension set at highest,. Our family cabin is located at the back of a valley that gets an extra amount of snow because of being up against the side of Echo summit. The road is often impassable during large storms and is always the last road to get plowed. Left a buddy’s house about 12:30am when I got to the back of the valley no cars had driven on the road, my street was well over 2 feet of snow. Pulled into my driveway, opened the garage, lowered the suspension and pulled in without a problem! It had snowed another 4 inches by the morning when the pic was taken. You can see my neighbors Dodge Ram, 2500 buried from the snow.

Do you have chains/cables? All four tires? If so, what brand?

That's a beautiful picture of the snow-covered terrain. That would make a very nice Christmas card.

OP-I was watching the news and wondering how a Rivian would do. Now we know! Incredible!

I need rights to use that photo of the cabin for my Xmas card this year! Cheers!

Prime real estate! Brings back fond memories. Twenty two years ago, I used to maintain the Echo Summit monitoring station for the California Air Resources Board. My particulate monitor used to get "drowned/buried" by the CalTrans snow blower when they cleared the parking lot.

Hahaa, you got it. iansriv is granted unlimited usage rights to the above image for his 2024 Christmas card.

(I should have backed the R1S out of the garage and placed it in it's tracks for the Riv card pic)
