I grew up in NY, I moved when I was 18, so I had 2-3 years of snow driving experience before I never saw it again as I have lived in Florida ever since that move.
My one brother moved to Kentucky. I drove up a several winters ago in my FJ Cruiser to see him over the Christmas holidays. While we were there it snowed overnight 4". My FJ has Bridgestone Revo's on it. I really did not need 4WD with it but put it on mostly due to my excitement to drive in snow again. I had to drive to our hotel at 11 at night with snow on the ground and it still falling.
It all came back to me (Just like Vail) slow and smooth, look way out ahead and anticipate everything all inputs should be done a gently as possible.
All that was out the window in the back parking lot of the hotel the next morning. I had not goofed off like that in the snow since I was in High School.
