Getting some snow tires. I forgot to ask, are we talking like consecutive steep up and downs like 1-2 car lengths up and then 1-2 cars down like a little hill, or we talking like a long-ish continuous 30 yard down 30 yard up? I'm fine with either I just want to know how freaked out my girlfriend is going to be in the passenger seat and how much calming down or not bringing her I need to do lol.

It's just a matter of traction, i don't really think the road itself is intimidating or anything. Just a climb up maybe 3 miles from Rt 2 to the base area. Consistently uphill (downhill going the other way!), some places a bit steeper than others. If it's the summer, it's not at all intimidating: no cliffs/dropoffs like you'd see in Colorado or something. Just a climb through the woods. No quick ups and downs like you mention.. just a coupla tightish corners. If you have snow tires and drive at a reasonable speed, you'll be fine.

Okay cool. I liked the Colorado mountain roads but my girlfriend did not lol. I drove those roads same as I did for the snowy roads in PA. If it's more continuous and doesn't feel sudden, that'll be better for her nerves.

Thanks for the info man!

No worries, you both should be good to go! Just came back from a great morning at Bolton, finally getting some snow!
