Using the TT as snowplow - a few impressions

since we got a lot of snow actually (it's snowing right now - and i'll have to go for a ride later tonight ) we drove towards the mountains in our backyard for some fun in the snow. it was a perfect day with massive snow up there. sometimes there was that much snow on the street that i felt like a snowplow in the TT with its low clearance...
here some impressions:

Bad ***. We just got a bunch of snow and mine was in the shop. I wanted it so I could go out and play around. Maybe next time. How does it handle in the snow this is my first year with it in winter.

Looks like fun. Great pictures. It looks like the people in the houses in the last picture will be stuck for a while.

Incredible shots, really. I love seeing cars like this demonstrating their abilities in ways that most owners would never attempt.

Love the last pic of the mountain side covered with a blanket of powder! That would be some great back country skiing. Looks like everyone is finally getting some good snow. We had our best snow week here in Vail in 2 years! Yeehaw!! Great looking snow plow by the way....

Be careful with those bigger piles like in the last picture - it would be terrible to damage the bumper!
