In the hopes that confession truly brings redemption I start this thread. (Hopefully someone can benefit from what others should not have done)

We just returned from a week up in Vermont at my family's ski house for X-mas. We of course came in our new H2 and after getting two feet of pow-pow on Christmas decided that conditions were ideal to see what this rig could do.
As we had hoped the H2 was great I climbed a fresh cut trail up to a construction site that rose about sixty feet in two hundred fourty feet (never would have gotten close to the top in my Grand Cherokee) Then we took about a two mile unmarked, unplowed trail along a small creek that a local told us about. We got through this trail with no problems and only using 4Hi locked PLUS TC2 at the end to climb a short steep incline back to the local dirt road. I guess I was still relishing the trail we had easily conquered when I realized that I was about to cruise past the turn back to our house. This is where full brain freeze kicked in. Traveling at about 30mph on a plowed but still slippery dirt road I attempted a hard right turn. Well the H2 didn't really care for my last minute decision and decided it wanted to go off roading again. The only trouble was that off road meant into a 5' snow bank that hid a three foot deep culvert on the side of the road. This ocurred about 40 yards away from a family that was walking down the road to their house. They ran to their nearby home, justifiably convinced that there was a nut job on the loose with a big truck. Well I attempted to use every feature on this thing but could not not get out. Fortunately a local with a 3/4 ton dualie came by. He was the local plow guy and asked if I needed help. Since I could not get out, due to the snow being as high as the drivers side window, my wife went out and asked for help.(I would regret this later) Well he pulled us out with a tow strap that he had, but not until after 12 cars had driven by all enjoying a very big laugh (especially the natives). He was very nice about it as this was his "first Hummer rescue" and could clearly see the embarassment on my face. Now my wife helpfully points out every snow bank as we drive. I PROMISE TO PAY MORE ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING. I PROMISE TO PAY MORE ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING . . .
