You will thank us that time you nearly get stuck but can just slip on those chains and drive on !!!!

Have you ever (really honestly) "just slipped on" a pair of snow chains :mrgreen:

Loving all the positivity! Keep it up :)

Thank you Bandit ..I was just about to reply in that vein...when you are kneeling in a foot of snow and your hands have turned to claws and you cant find the red bit to clip to the yellow bit ...and Snowb4ndit opens the window a fraction to say "Hurry Up!" and then closes it but you can still hear the smothered laughter..
Its not quite the same as "just slipping them on!!

Well to both of you !!
And Scapula, I do realise that you have your own particular and unique set of "circumstances" to contend with. Something that, thankfully, I have not experienced!
:D

But .....
Needing to get from Meribel Mottaret to Courchevel (and back) 4 times most Saturdays (sometimes 6!) in a Sherpa Minibus hones the skills needed.
Chains needed up in Mottaret, but not the road to, and through, Meribel. Chains needed for run to Courchevel (past La Tania, but that didn't exist then), but not in Courchevel ....
And return :mrgreen:

Chains laid out so they are not tangled .....
Decent gloves, not too thick ....
and practice!

That way you can just slip on those old snow chains.
:thumbup:

Practice indeed makes perfect, for the rest of us, we need them on, at the worst of times and it's never quite like as easy as testing them on the drive at home

How are we meant to work out the coloured bits in low light!

If they slip on....generally they can and do slip off :(

Occasionally the PostBus from the railway station in Sierre is on chains..they don't just slip on as it's a regular 50+ seater )

:shock:

Wow, hows about these ones?

Yes - but ....
On the fitting snow chains bit - you should have seen me trying when I first started.
:lol:

i was going to say....whats all this 'slipping on' business.

I would say it is a very long way from slipping on in my experience. Would be faster for me to put 4 new wheels with studded tyres on!
