Finally got up to running 1 mile, in uneven grass, in 8 mins 37 secs! A few more 3 1-mile runs per day I should be ready to take on the mountain
do some squats and lunges. get the correct muscles burning.

Get those squats going so you can power through sloppy jump landings! haha
By jump do you mean leaving the ground?
Think I'm going to try to keep both feet on the ground as much as possible.
Yeah, we should be getting an AWD rental. I'm a really awesome driver and drove an AWD eclipse from like 18 to 25 so I know about the stopping thing, but thats why I would always downshift along with breaking which I won't be able to do with an automatic SUV rental.
Thanks for the warnings though, I will be extra careful.
you can down shift with an automatic. use d3 and d2. very handy on the downhill grades.

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE
Yeah, kind of, but it's not the same as stick shift
I love stick shift except when I'm in traffic!
I actually did D2 / D3 on my last trip to vail in October in a 2 wheel drive little SUV. Instead of riding the brake I just put it into the lower gears, worked great!
Thanks for the reminder!
On another note I just saw this on weather.com
Oh, and I love driving stick too. I have yet to own an automatic.

Hope your drive is safe!
iPhone users must just not be automatic people, I have never owned an auto either.
