    Default driving from vancouver this weekend

    guys, im gonna be flying up this friday to purchase a vehicle, and will be driving back down on saturday afternoon back to calgary. Been watching the highway forecast and highway cams, looks nasty. I drove around this time back in 2008 and even though it was snowing pretty hard, had no issues on the highway. However this time around seems to be in a much worse shape. Anyone drive from van lately? how was it?

    any tips or recommendations on which route to take?

    Thanks

    what kinda car jon?? how is tire tread?

    i think if you drive carefully you'll be ok, this weekend is supposed to get a bit nicer and the further west you go from here is already substantially nicer

    I'm not sure what it's like now but we did the drive there and back 2 weeks ago, and it was good for the most part. The area to watch out for is around Golden, Revy, etc.. there always seems to be delays/closures (construction, avalanche, or accidents) right around there. We sat in traffic near Golden for over an hour waiting for some semi trucks to make it up a hill...

    Oh yeah, and as mentioned above... just take #1 TC
