VSC off in the snow is more fun

My 2003 with VSC and snow don't mix
Went out in the snow and drove around with both VSC on and off and just let me say with it off I was able to do J-turns and slide so much easier than with it on.
On the dash it said VSC off and had a little pic of a 4x4 with the front wheels turned.
Every once in a while the dash still made a buzzing sound cause I would spin the tires I guess it is still partially engaged.
Whats your experience with the traction control, I perfer it off in the snow if you wanna have fun

So many views and no replies
Took the truck out again and the VSC was killing me thought I was gonna get stuck cause I could not spin my tires to pull through the snow banks the plow truck left behind, but with it off it did great, I advise anyone that goes out in any deep snow to turn it off.
The tires on the truck are OK but I missed my Yokohama Geolandar AT

4WD no VSC
It snowed in South Carolina and th state went nuts... It never snows here but maybe once a year if we're lucky. We actually do have some state-suported snow plows though -- a whopping TWO! (No joke) Anyways, I tried going around in the icy snow with and without VSC, and I think I'd take with it. Without it, I did a complete 520 on a wide road (yeah, stupid, I know, but I won't do it again now!) Luckily, nothing bad happened. That day though, I saw probably 50 or so people lose control, and 4 wrecks, one of which I was witness to. If you're on the road, I'd say use VSC. If you're off road, that's an entirely different story.

When their was 3 inches on the road VSC was fine but when it came to driving through 3 foot snow plow banks the VSC was causing me to get stuck cause I was tryin to spin through it and my wheels where braking cause it detected slip causing me to get stuck
