I drove my new Element for the first time in snow yesterday. We had about 12" or so of snow up at the Snoqualmie Pass Ski Slope, here in Washington state, so I drove up there to give my Element a try in it.
I drove around the unplowed parking lot. It drives great, w/it's AWD, and I didn't get stuck, though I could hear that low clearance fuel tank scraping in the snow, which I don't like. That small amount of clearance at the fuel tank bothers me. I guess the the only way to fix that is w/a suspension lift, like CCM's. I'm thinking more and more about putting one on, most likely this coming spring.
For tires, all I had was Michelin LTX M/S All Season tires, w/no chains.
