We went snowshoeing in the mountains of Colorado this weekend and almost got stuck. The road to the trailhead is not maintained so there was about 14"+ of snow for the first half then it got deep. Started up a hill and I could see where someone else had gotten stuck before and left it un-passable with new snow on top of the deep ruts that would take you into the ditch.
So, just had to back down a few hundred yards to get to a pull off. Figured we would go from there. Backing downhill in deep snow is a bit of a trick that I did not master that day. Truck slid off to the side and was not going anywhere for a moment. I got out and my wife got behind the wheal so I could give directions and push as needed.
4L and the wife said what does this do, asking about the crawl control. I gave her the 15 second description as she turned it on. She put it in reverse and let the truck do it's thing. I could not believe how easily it worked it's way out of the rut and backed down to the spot to park. I wish I had some pictures to give some more context but dam, it was kinda crazy impressive!
After we parked, my wife said, "OK, I think I am really liking this truck." No pics of the "adventure" but just for a little idea, this is from the hike.
