Most everyone probably heard about the storms we have had here in S. California, lots of rain but also gave us a pretty nice blanket of snow up in the mountains.
I am only about 30 minutes way from Mt. Baldy, so decided to take family and the Cayenne up the hill for some snow play.
The Cayenne was awesome up and down the twisty without chains. Thank you Porsche!!!!

Do you have All Season tires or pure summer tires on your Pepper?
I'm now running the Yoko Parada (sp ?) Spec X A/S on mine and love them.
Nice shots BTW. I bet the kids loved it. I guess it's one w/e you and Chris weren't stuck under a 993?
It would be nice to be 1/2 hr. away from mountains w/ snow.

That's crazy Robin. Summer tires are not rated for snow and you are putting yourself and your family at risk (incl. your Pepper). Believe me I had some scary moments on dep snow with Summer Conti 4X4 20s on my CS (waited too long that year to switch to my Winter set).
I use Pirelli Scorpions Snow & Ice Winter tires on OEM 18" CTT wheels in the winter and the driving performance is trully night and day.

Believe me, I am not that crazy. The only snow the PIG was on is what you saw on the picture in the parking lot. Road surface were mostly slurpyish, I wouldn't even try to drive on snow without the right tire of snow chain.

Was out in the snow again today (snows all the time here, Sweden). Really bad road conditions with a slippery layer of very light snow covering ice or packed snow. Really great to test the handling, you go from understeer to geting the tail out real easy, that car has actually great balance for something so heavy.
Then when you switch PSM back on the intelligent ABS is great.
I am actually very positively surprised
I bought the car to tow its little sisters I didn't expect it to be such a great drive.

BTW, Summer Tires in the Winter is like going for a run with flip flops in the snow IMHO!
