do you think it would be advisable to drive across nevada in the winter from the east bay to park city utah? mapquest says i can do it in 11 hours but i am concerned whether this might end up being like 20 hours if it snows, as i suppose it is prone to do in winter...
has anyone done this? i usually fly and i feel like there are so many unknowns with driving. |

right, so driving across the mountains would involve crossing the sierras and those mountains by park city. so is that risky is what i am asking? |

well I doubt I can really give you any good advise. I always feel like I cna drive in the snow no matter what since I grew up in michigan and have driven through many a blizzard.
but if there is snow on the ground there, it will not be good....
why not just fly? |

well we have chains but i am more concerned on timing and stuff.
i would normally fly but in this case i am being cheap, plus if it really takes only 11 hours, that isnt bad. |

I've done it before. Just make sure you can get through the Sierras, after that its a piece of cake. I had to spend the night in Truckee once I believe, because the conditions were too harsh and I didn't want to buy chains etc. Once you're in Nevada its dead easy. |
