Can I take the B12 up the snow mountain?

I've never really driven in snow and the back tires are kinda not so good. The front ones are brand new.

Anyways, this mountain is a one hour climb (with chains) and I've never driven there before, only friends have.

What are your experiences in the mountains?

The b12s are awsome in the snow. You will have problems with the rear-end sliding, I do and I have winter tires all around. Watch for overheating brakes because B12 brakes are weak and will heat up quickly. Gratuitous racing pic

I had my Sentra hauling through the mountians several times a year. I did Crownest pass right before they closed it and some other mountain climbs up to resorts and stuff. I have Winter Ice tires all around and I never had a problem. The Sentras are feel very confident in the snow.
