I believe it was that guy bear who said that Hondas weren't that good in snow. Will I guess someone should have told this guy.

Yeh, you can tell he is having a very tough time in the snow heh....LOL.
After looking at video like this, you have to question what other people think about Hondas inferior 4X4 system for real world riding.

I don't mean to be a jerk here, but I've been in snow a few times in my day. Let's take a logical look at this. Obviously he isn't sinking in. There looks to be about 4-6 inches of powder on top of a hard layer. Heck, I was out ripping around in 6 inches of powder with the raptor the other day, no tracks, no skis, just worn down razrs lol. Look at the first few seconds of video, you can see that the underlying snow is hard enough to make a jump, then when the front end comes back down, with the force of impact it doesn't even sink..lol. Then after he drives by the camera he hits a soft spot and sinks in...loses all momentum..you can see it dig down a little..no doubt the 3wd is kicking in about now haha. Notice they cut the camera right then, I'd bet money he's stuck. Then at 0:13 he hits another soft spot..cut the camera he's stuck. My point: this shows nothing of merit for a limited slip 4wd system...it is what it is, inferior to a locker.

Kinda reminds me of when brpbear posted pics of his outty in POWDER, talking about his high HP snow riding and praising the VISCO-LOCK..heh heh.
