I own a 2000 Toyota Tacoma with 2WD, and I've been wanting to drive up I-70 to go to Keystone and Breckenridge from Boulder. I have placed four studded winter tires on it, and two 60lb sandbags in the bed over the axle. It works well in the snowpack in Boulder, but I'm curious as to whether it would go up well on I-70 through heavy snow conditions? My thinking is that it would be sketchy, but I've never done it so I need good advice.
Yes, Colorado.
 
Should be OK but I'd bring sufficient food / water.
I understand the Donner party ran into some difficulties but that was quite a while ago and I don't think they had winter tires on their wagons. I'd imagine that decision eventually ate at them.
