I just got done playing around in some serious snow for the last few days (over 24 inches in 48 hours!) and I'm very happy with the way the new X performed. Around town, the electronics kept the truck very safe- straight and controllable. I was able to deal with some pretty intense conditions. I had to turn the VDC off where the snow was very deep (as it wanted to slow me down too much)- but really the only complaint I have is crappy stock tires!
