r/COsnow

I know this has been asked in some form or fashion on this sub several times but wanted to ask about my specific situation.

I live in Louisiana. Planning to drive to CO for a ski trip. Staying in Dillon CO. Based on other posts I’m a bit confused on if my tires would be safe for this trip.

I have toyo A30 open country M+S tires. They have sufficient depth (about 7/32 right now) but are nearing that point where I wouldn’t meet the required depth for the traction laws. My trip is first week of December. My Tacoma is 4wd. I understand I meet the traction laws and I would also have chains just in case but I want to be as safe as I can. I see some people say M+S meets the requirements but really don’t hold up well if conditions get bad. Obviously I would try to avoid driving in said conditions but just want to be as safe as I can.

Would all weather tires like the Toyo Open Country A/T III with the 3MPSF rating be safe to drive during this time even if the conditions got bad? I understand dedicated snow tires would be the absolute best but I don’t have space to store an additional set of tires so I’m looking at the ones I mentioned as supposedly these can be used all year round and are considered safer for snowy conditions.

Any help or guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

i’m planning on working a seasonal lift operation gig at copper mountain and wondering if anybody there or that has worked there know whether i’m expected to stay until a certain date etc?

"Snowmass is using leftover snow from last season to make a rail park. They'll be open to skiers and boarders this Saturday and Sunday."

I got a code last year for open snow but haven’t seen any posts about it yet so figured I’d ask if anyone has any spots?
