Snow Chains
I am making a trip to Whistler BC in a few weeks and wanted to be prepared if chains were needed. Does anyone know of a brand supported by MBUSA or after market that work well? Thanks!

GOOGLE Thule chains. From Sweden. Where they know about winter.
EDIT: Yikes. They are made in Italy. No worries.

I just looked. You live in Charleston, SC? Charleston to Whistler? Epic road trip. I'm jealous. I also wonder if you can't rent chains after you get there? Perhpas some of our Vancouver members could help out?
Be safe. Have a great trip.

Sounds awesome. Making notes for a retirement road trip.
You will need the chains handy for much of the trip.
Big Sky then Jackson? Is there a scheduling thing? I always get to Jackson before Big Sky. If you've never been before, Big Sky to Jackson by way of eastern Idaho is a gorgeous drive. Weather and road conditions permitting, after crossing the pass out of West Yellowstone, you can take a state road close to the mountains, or stay on the flats.

Enjoy! One of these days I will fill in my states visited map with a trip north through the heartland. Flat and boring sometimes. But I feel bad with a vast unexplored area on my personal map.
Connect the dots: Big Sky-West Yellowstone-Island Park-Ashton-Victor-Jackson. I did of that route in the summer on my bicycle. Winter in a 4matic Benz will be a piece of cake.
