Message	Hey fellas, I know it is a stupid question, but I'm getting desperate. Over the weekend there was a big snow storm up north in AZ which re-opened all of the Ski resorts. I ended up buying all new snowboarding gear to go this year but never got to. I'm gonna kill if I don't get to go atleast once this season. The problem is I have no other car to use besides the Z, which has Bridgestone RE-750s on it. I know this is next to impossible to try to drive in the snow with, but all the snow *should* plowed except the parking lot of the ski resort. I was doing some searching and heard that summer tire's compound isn't good under 40 degrees and what not. If anyone can tell me some of their experiences in the snow without snow tires I'd appreciate it, or if anyone in phoenix has a snow capable vehicle and wants to go snowboarding at Sunrise ski resort, get back to me. Thanks
