Exclamation Drove to the Snow Yesterday...

The roads were a little bit icy, snowy and gravely. There was one point though were I almost lost control when I hit some Ice and traction control kicked in. When I left I had a loud noise coming from the breaks for about 5 miles and then they went away. I am assuming maybe the snow got stuck on the rotors and eventually warmed up. Otherwise it was a smooth drive. I don't know how a few Prius's got up there

Perhaps road salt or grit? Where exactly did you go?

As long as they don't have to brake when driving down.

How did the RA perform? Other than the icy conditions.

I didn't feel a thing...so thats a good thing. There were a few up hill super windey roads and paddle shifting was awkward up them.
