ICY Descent from Cerro Gordo, and how I made it down SAFE!

Описание: Trip Date: February 1, 2025

Just a few days ago, I caught up with some old overlanding friends at Cerro Gordo in the Eastern Sierra corridor of California. Big thanks to John P. for organizing this trip!

There are some nuisances to driving on snow and ice. I had my GoPro running that caught me candidly explaining to the Wife, the concepts of snow and ice wheeling. A natural reaction is to slam on the brakes, but that's one of the worse things you can do on ice. In this video, I'll give you some tips on how to keep things safe.
