Hi Beng. You just need to look for the biggest group of Suzukis somewhere in the main street. There are likely to be other 4WD clubs gathering there as well. You have the list of all our vehicles in this thread so just look for them. No need to worry about slowing us down if there is a lot of snow nobody will be moving very fast. You might be the one pulling others out, who knows.

I got snow belts for my tyres, few guys I know went up with 40inch tyres and still needed chains.

Lead car can make a track with chains or snow belts if needed I'm told.

I’ve never used or needed chains in 25 years. Let the tyres down and drive very gently whilst building momentum.

Chains are for groomed roads with ice re-freeze and no ruts.

People who use chains think they need them.

That's what everyone said last year and we got about 150meters up the track!

Mine aren't chains anyway they are snow belts.

Chains/belts are useful for thick snow when you keep vearing off the track towards the edge of mountain.

Last year there was zero ruts or hardly a track.

Hey Beng
You will be fine, the best part about the club is that we all help each other out and never leave anyone behind.
It’s a great group and a good learning environment with a pub meal at the end of the day.What more could you ask for😊
