    If you can't make it to the bottom of Snoqualmie you should probably give up your CDL.

    I've only been out west once and I didn't think Snoqualmie was a big deal however it did snow decently and it wasn't exactly winter at the time. Cabbage wasn't that big of a deal but it was good conditions and I kept it to the slow side.

    Welcome to the west coast... Riding the brakes might work back east. Not a good idea over here...

    Right ? Even then some of the runaway ramps u would be lucky to make them ... sometimes i think u would be better off just putting it into the side of the mountain. Rather than trying to ride out switchbacks with no brakes.. Should never come to that point tho unless u have mechanical failure
