Visiting Montana has been on my bucket list since I was a little girl. I remember watching westerns shot in the state with my mom/granny and it always looked so beautiful. Well, I was finally able to cross it off my list and trust me when I say it did not disappoint. Big Sky is the most majestic place I have ever visited. It truly looked like a winter wonderland.

The 2023 Infiniti QX60 proves itself on snow and ice
So, a few weeks back, a handful of lifestyle journalists including myself headed to Montana to drive several Infiniti luxury vehicles including:
- Q50
- QX50
- QX55
- QX60
- QX80
We all had the opportunity to test our winter driving skills during a few different snow and ice exercises.
Each exercise was set up to demonstrate how good driving skills, winter tires, Bridgestone to be exact and a modern vehicle’s intelligent AWD system helps under harsh driving conditions. When you’re in situations where there is very little traction, the responses of all these things are critical in maintaining control of a vehicle.
Driving through majestic Big Sky, Montana
Although there were many vehicles to choose from, my driving partner, All Things Fadra, and I stuck with the QX60, which proved it has great handles and response time on snow and ice.
The luxury SUV offers five drive modes:
- Personal
- Sport
- Auto
- Eco
- Snow
I’m sure you can guess which one we drove in most of the time. However, we decided to show our bravery by performing the same snow and ice exercises with the traction and stability controls turned off, and of course we were sliding all over the place! LOL!
Fun Fact: I hadn’t driven in the winter since I left Michigan and moved to South Florida about 10 years ago. However, it was like riding a bike, and I had to pat myself on the back for taking third in the timed Infiniti driving competition.
