Winter driving in BC can be quite challenging. We took a BMW X5 over the Coqahalla Highway to see just how difficult conditions can be during the winter months. Our trip took us from Kelowna in the Okanagan to Vancouver on the West Coast. The highway had just re opened the day we left due to an avalanche having closed the summit pass. The BMW X5 was an incredible SUV and performed superbly in the conditions. As you can see from the film there were literally trucks and other SUV’s skidding off the road…speed was the factor every time, it doesn’t matter what you drive – speed + winter is an unforgiving master.
