Living in Colorado I knew I would have to eventually drive this tiny car in a snow storm. I didn't give it a lot of thought when I bought her in July. I didn't care that the Mini may not be a practical car for Colorado, I was going to drive a Mini no matter what. I woke up this morning to a big snow storm and all I could think was " I was crazy to get this car, what was I thinking? Mini owners in Colorado have to have a second car for the snow...something sensible." We had a lot of snow and it was wet and heavy. I was so nervous and rigid during my commute....I just knew any minute I would slide. It never happened. The Mini was great in the snow!! I think I was only nervous because of the size and weight of the car. I was impressed today and don't feel the need to run out and buy a truck for the snow!

 

hell yeah! I'm moving out to Summit County with a few buddies of mine next spring. And I wasn't sure if it could handle it out there or not. Sounds like your experiance has answered my question.
