Well this was actually not by choice we were hunting deer and had come up a mountain and when we topped out we were in it. LOL I have also been thru mud a foot and a half deep on the same hunt and that too can be almost as bad as the snow. There were some mountain roads going up hill that are not easy when dry and we watched a few people try to climb them in ice and snow and it was a real comedy of errors. Atv's are just like a 4x4 they will slip and slide in the bad stuff.
