Besides the deep groves that hold tons of water and mud, here's another reason to get the rubber floor mats. They make awesome traction devices in the snow!

Really?
I would have thought that they would be a big frisbee.
(well true be told I would not have thought of using them :) )

Nope. Lots of those rubber needles on the bottom side, and rubber on rubber can be pretty grabby. We used them a couple of times.

Pretty good thinking Schlud! I never would have thought of that!

That looks like grey poop..

Now THIS looks like snow :D

Actually no. I just slipped into a rut and lost my momentum. I backed down the hill, got my speed back and plowed right through it. The stuck spot was actually in a pretty flat area. On the hills you could always use gravity to back out. The deep flatter areas just made nice icy holes to get stuck in.
