I have some questions about snow chains and snow chain removal? Follow up question, I was told to ask for someone by the name of Jerry? when I arrived at the lodge, assuming we make it there safety.

Indeed. Last year we put chains on the front wheels, so this year they go in the back?

I wrap chains around my entire vehicle to maintain traction during rollovers.

We did left side last year, so they’ll be on the right side this season.

I just carry chains. In fact they don’t even fit my car. I’ve never had to use chains in over 30 years. I have an all wheel drive car and use snow rated tires.

You’d be amazed at what they can accomplish with cold nights.

u/warriors_03 2d ago

You’re correct. However, do you see any cold nights coming that are suitable for snow making?

Yes - even years in back, odd years in the front. Keep it simple.
