Luv playing craps....and adventures myself....makes for lasting memories.
Keep googling the weather ahead of you and relax, stop if you have to....and enjoy.
I drove to Arizona from Toronto 3 weeks ago on summer tires......use those business instincts.

It was a fabulous spring day here in Southern Alberta yesterday and the forecast called for more of the same today. However, we woke up to fresh snow and -4C this am...As they say, "if you don't like the weather, go back in and come out again" LOL!
Anyway, looks like the forecast promises 6-13cm of snow for Grande Prairie on April 10/11 with a cold morning on the 12th. But who really knows what you will find once you get there. Things will no doubt improve when you head South, but keep in mind you will be starting 750km North of Calgary. So take a good care of yourself and your new prized possession and don't do anything that might make you a star on the Speed Channel's "Dumbest Stuff on Wheels"
Joking aside: do keep us posted and best of luck for a safe trip!
PS When you make it back to GTA, look me up and let's get ya and your ZR1 to CTMP Grand Prix track for some "adventure" this car was designed for

ICE, where are you? Started my own trek 3 days ago and now sit at T-Bay Nor'western awaiting "up to 20cm of white stuff" to start coming down tonite... Deja vu from last year, pretty much to a day LOL! Anyhow, thus far so good, only a couple of new windshield chips, as expected. Hope you're doing well on the Southern passage and will update us soon.
All the best! Bill

You've been home now for a couple of days; which is long enough for you to have cleaned the beast. Let's get those pictures up!
Looking forward to the re-cap of your experience.
