Are you wanting highway conditions or bush ??? Was on the 750 last night then 88 to slave...highways are really good shape, but as mentioned probably a good foot of fresh snow in the bush

yep bush conditions, a foot could make it a little tricky to get around

Thanks for the input

Ya, i did some bush touring with the truck, diff and front spoiler, plow some snow here and there, but truck travel was still ok as the snow is still light and fluffy, thats with a gmc, so it sits a bit lower.

If we get some winds and it blows and hardens it could make things more difficult, for quad or walking. Anyways, expect at least a foot + in the bush.

Yup. Light and powdery. Less than a foot in open areas.
