i would be down for an awd snow drift session, the parking lot at my work is decent but not big enough for higher speed moves

Re: It's coming................................

seriously.
this is my vision:


i want to do it with a few audi's. if anyone knows any locations i am more than happy to freeze my ass off in the snow with a camera shooting from a distance.

cant be done on a road its just not safe. need either a MASSIVE parking lot, or an airstrip

Kananaskis lakes, or what about Sylvan?

your going to have to give it another month r 2 atleast till the lakes around here are frozen over, also you never know how smooth the ice will be depending on how windy it was when the lake froze over. i know ghost lake has an ice road in the middle of winter though

while temperatures are where they are right now its fine to use salt and no rocks. Problem becomes when the temp goes below like -15 to -20ish salt isn't effective at melting the snow anymore as it just continually freezes, and using gravel becomes necessary.

Actually salt loses all effectiveness at -27 Celcius. On another note, Calgary's new mayor just denied the extra 10 million that was suppossed to go into the snow removal fund. Salt may not happen for awhile yet. But salt is a good thing. If you don't want your car developing rust, then you must get it undersprayed with oil. Or just by a winter beater for under a grand. There is so much ice here, that its extremely unsafe for the most part. Deerfoot yesterday was crazy icy in the fast lane. Its just dangerous. Quebec introduced a law a year or two ago about the manditory winter tires for all vehicles on the road. I'm sure you are all aware of this. While it did cause a small uproar with the citizens of that province, this law decreased accidents by 18% over the whole winter season. Perhaps this law should be made here in Alberta too.
