Oh my. My wife is up at our cottage as well (Port Carling) with her X5. I'll have to ask how the Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snows made out. That's a lot of snow!

Oh man. We are between Bala & Port Carling as well on Mortimer's Point. We have a service so I hope they were plowing the road and driveway.

Yikes, that looks deep!

The DWS's provide (IMHO) a better ride on the highway, which is where we put a lot of miles on the car. Now we'll get to see how they perform on snow.
i prefer a non-rft snow tire because they're too damn hard to begin with let alone in winter temps however slim pickings in the 20" and even less in 21". If my wife is driving it or we have our child in the vehicle i'd rather not be on a shoulder or somewhere attempting to change a tire.

A picture taken at the beach last week on a mandatory break, in front of the famed coloured boat houses along Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne.
