Looks like fun...
Maybe a little nerve racking having a 4000lbs sled under you

Sometimes the only way to conquer that is to keep two wheels over in the snow and go very SLOW! Or chains if you had them.
We had a road like that into hunting camp where the creek would flood into the road and it would freeze over if it was cold enough. Dad would try to keep either the left or right wheels in the dirt or snow for traction.

And who's the crazy nut who went first?
 Great time doing some sick stuff. One wrong move and it would've been an interesting game of ice pinball with an Xterra as the ball.

You get a Maximum Gonads award for doing that without chains! I wouldn't touch it with dual lockers and severe weather rated tires unless I had chains on all four wheels. I am not sure if I should congratulate you on making it or run in fear from any event you attend or organize.

go up to atlanta and play in the snow.
 We talked about it and trailscouted for a good 10 minutes, surveyed our options (yes, turning around was one of them)and decided that once through the section, it's only 1/4 mile out to the nearest road. So we went for it, but not before everyone knew their jobs. We attached a hitch block and 30' strap and wrapped it around a tree. Just incase the vehicle decided to go skating. We used a strap at least 360 degrees around a tree, with at least one person on it keeping it taut. Every 30 feet we would switch trees to keep the vehicle in check. At times, the rear of a vehicle would slip. In this case, I was holding the strap, I wrapped it around another tree (2 times around 2 trees) enough to hold the truck tight, even when accelerating. We had the driver accelerate slightly so that the vehicle would pull the back end back to the side of the vehicle, worked like a charm. We know how to do safe tactics, good to be with a bunch of cautious folks. Matt
