Mine just sets and spins! I was going down some old railroad tracks(no tracks) and i couldn't get about 10 or 15 MPH. I'd try to gas it and it would just spin and almost stop!

I have holeshots on the back and front.

my gf's doesn't do too bad. The rear end wants to wiggle around some but I was impressed. She climbed a couple small hills & busted through about 15 inches or so of snow a couple times. Tires are stock.

97 Trailblazer,

The reason it doesn't go as well in the snow is because you have Holeshots on. If you were to put the old stock tires back on, you'd find they are much better for snow. It has something to do with the round profile working better in the snow. My Sport (with Holeshots) wants to sit and spin while my Trailblazer hooks up and moves out. Put your old tires back on and have some winter fun!

I figured the Holeshots would grip better!

My old stock tires were smooth!

Today, i went out and finally got to try the RCR Kit out. Which made quite a difference climbing hills

I went up a hill that is about 100 yards long and faily steep. I couldn't make it up! But that is just because of the snow. Which is only 5" deep. Looks like only one person made it up. Probably my uncle with his Sportsman. Everyone else made it about where i did!

Its just your tires. My 99 trailblazer still has stock tires on it and it does just fine in the snow.
