| requirement to drive on the coquihalla?
My friends and I are planning to go to big white in the next week, we're driving there.
I wasn't sure about what the requirement is to drive on the coquihalla; do I need to have winter tires mounted or is having chains in the trunk sufficient? I tried googling but I only found general winter driving tips but nothing about the traffic law of going through those snowy areas. Could someone please help? Thanks

Right now with the warm weather just as long as you have good all season tires it should be fine. Normally you should have winter tires and chains as well.

IIRC, signs posted just before mountainous roads say that either winter tires w/ good tread or else chains are required between Oct 1 and the end of April.
If the weather is good I don't think anyone will care.

like the above said, and prepare for the worst. have the chains and know how to use them, keep a shovel and some sand in the car, some blankets, a couple candles and some matches (a lit candle in a car provides enough heat to keep you alive).

my civic si, heh. some crappy all season tire
i might just buy some random chains and put them in the trunk in case they check me. I have 0 intention of ever mounting it though since it'll ruin my rims...

You should at least have chains that fit your tires properly. You may need them, it's hard to say. Hopefully it's good weather for you, but man, be prepared for that shit.
