Are you sick of being stuck inside due to the winter weather? Well, what’s the best thing to do when you’re bored? Get in your vehicle and drive to a new adventure! We know traveling in winter weather can be hard but we suggest monitoring the weather for a couple of days in advance. If there is no major storm we don’t see why your next adventure has to be put on the back burner! In fact, the winter id full of fun activities like skiing, snowboarding, tubing, hiking, ice skating, and so much more, so why wouldn’t you get out there and enjoy yourself?

Before you hit the road we want to help make sure that you pack everything you may need/want. It’s easy to forget a thing or two when packing, we’ve all done it before. And if you’re like me, you probably leave packing to the last minute, right? Well, that’s why this week we’ve created a list to help make sure you have everything you’ll need to make there and back on your adventure! Be sure to check out our list below and edit/add for your own personal needs. Make sure that your vehicle is in tip-top shape before hitting the road. If you think you might need to service it, schedule an appointment with on our website!
