Scared on a plowed road? Laffin. You really are an idiot. I understand city slickers can’t tell a plowed road. Totally understandable Nevermind

Photo reminds me of Cabbage Hill on I 84 on many winter days. Seven miles of 6% if I remember correctly, it has been a couple years.Highway 95 through Central Id will look like that on many winter mornings, until the plows get to it.
That sure looks like a plow berm on the downhill edge of the road in the original photo.

I got stuck a few weeks ago when I was hunting in central Montana. The trails were pretty clear for the most part, but there was one stretch, about a mile long, in a low area that had a ton of drifted snow piled up. I thought I could get through it and was wrong. Buried the truck pretty good and had to abandon it. I had chains with me, but I didn't think the snow was so deep and didn't walk the trail first to check snow depths. By the time I was stuck, it was too late for chains.
After a few other guys helped me to get back to my cabin (and then home), I ordered a set of trac grabbers as well as knock-off maxtrax. The maxtrax and a bit of shovel work got me out in about 5 minutes. I know keep the chains, trac grabbers and maxtrax in the truck at all times in winter and am looking for how to really get stuck next time. Like I tell my son - if think you might need chains, you should already have them on. Of course I learned that lesson the hard way Same here. Lesson learned. L.W.

There isn't much snow but what is there is packed due to vehicles. I can pretty much assure you, areas of that road out of view have the kind of ice that'll make you slip right on your ass if you step out of the vehicle (if you can even stop) if you're not ready for it. Those conditions suck ass to drive on, both due to sliding off the road and sliding into other vehicles you meet. If I know those are the road conditions I am dealing with I'll take a chained up 4-wheeler, hike in, ride my horse in or just hunt lower country. Those conditions are just asking for issues in a full sized vehicle. I'm sure you can see that nice uniform bank on the right side of the road with the snowballs. That's from a plow

That sure looks like a plow berm on the downhill edge of the road in the original photo. I looked a little closer and think you're right....but it had snowed again since that plow went through. There doesn't look to be a plow berm on the inside side of the road....and that is just a basic USFS mountain road so I am not sure why they would plow it. Maybe there's access to a county road down there or some of the ROW associated with it. Ribka, are you sure it isn't a timber company road and they're the ones who plowed it? It seems to be an oddly small road to plow.

I’ve driven through more snow than that in a minivan..... love that country, but only an idiot would go out there without good tires and chains. There have been many a time I drove my little 2wd Taco past “stuck” 4wd full size pickups on roads like that. Good snow tires are what separates the men from the idiots.

I have seen hunters with camps do this. Plow it one swipe so they can get back and forth to their camps. Its did snow on it since the guy ran his plow over it. Scared on a plowed road? Laffin.

I carry two sets of chains for when SHTF. I tend to turn around or boogy out of dodge before needing them. But if I do, both sets are ready to go.

Hunting the last few days of Wt deer in N Idaho. Drove up into the mountains where I saw a decent buck a few days ago in a clearcut up top.. Started snowing pretty good in the upper Selkirks. About 2 feet and still coming down hard so decided to head to lower elevations. I took a shorter route through a remote mountain pass. Pretty big pucker factor as did not have the chains along. lol that why they make 4 low I hate it when the ages old ranch roads that are worn down 3 feet below the surrounding prairie in NW Texas and the 1 foot of snow is drifted 2 feet deep in the eroded out road. You can be driving along in 4wd and have your skid plate building up snow under the forward moving truck until it builds up enough to the point the truck is sitting on top of it with all 4 wheels spinning - in then worthless granny low. When that happens late in the evening you thank God for 3/4 tank of gas, a sleeping bag, Pepper Jack crackers, a can of sardines and a can of Vienna's. PS. It doesnt matter then Rib, if you have chains or not. You can sit there and party all night and the engine heat wont melt an inch of that packed snow you're sitting on to be able to back out, either. Its walk out the next day if you dont have cell service too. With out coffee. Now I have a little single burner stove, gas canister, pot and whole small seals new plastic can of Folgers Columbian.

That road looks great. We got goat trails here and no passing on the trail. Not enough room for 2 vehicles to pass.

I like snow. Usually pretty fun to drive on.
Ice is another matter entirely. Closest I’ve come to buying the farm was on a mostly clear road coming down the west side of Chelan. Was hardly enough snow to make a snowball except for those tight bends on the north side of the hills. Those were sheets of ice.
My labia was quivering until I hit the hard road. 😆
