+1., except that Trey needs to relinquish either 1. his Canadian Driver's License or 2. his man-card. I've driven that route many times in winter and it's a relatively flat two-lane interrupted by an eerie midwinter ferry ride, no major passes, decent snow clearance. You may need a windshield repair after from the gravel they sand the roads with. Overall a fun couple of hours.
