Well thank you all for your responses! I just got back from my skiing trip and everything went great! I had no trouble what so ever, on the drive there the interstate was fairly clear so I just took it nice and slow. In fact, 6" of snow had just dropped and except for the interstate the roads weren't even plowed yet but the X made it all the way to the top of the mountain even when the 5 other cars/vans got stuck half way up. Everyone thought that the X was 4wd with the way I was able to make it up the mountain. I was very pleased with the X's performance in the snow.

I kept it in 2nd gear, maintained a constant speed, had at least 150lbs of luggage in the back along with 3 passengers not included myself. I took everyone's advice and I appreciate all the reponses.
Thanks again,
Matt
