I just posted some photos on the Continental review thread of my crappy road I had to drive on this morning.  Much deeper than what the S2000 was driving on.

Sweet, but the amount of snow on the road is smaller, around here, road or backyard is same level of snow because all the time they are caught unprepared (at least this is what they say).

How has the bumper held up?  I have snows on my GXP as well, but I'm afraid of going out when it's deeper than 4" on the road for fear of tearing up bodywork.

the bumper has held up good.  i've gone through some loosely packed snow drifts a few feet tall trying to do my best rally impersonation and the bumper has been fine.

I had Dunlop M3 245/45-17 on my C5 and it would push snow and never got stuck.  Though I have Michelin Pilot Alpin 245/45-18 on my lighter Sky it floats around quite a bit with the bigger contact patch.  I have Z-cable style chains just in case.  That S2K article is a joke!  :)
