Yes, but you are a zillion time closer to control than most passenger

If I had had the nerve to goose the accelerator a little I know I could have
pulled right out of it. What I did was stay off the brakes and steer with
the skid. But it over-corrected three or four times on me. San Juan
Mountains are not suitable for four wheeling yet, heh, but the snow pack is
pretty light. Look for a good year, but you might have to pack water and
there may be camping restrictions like there were five years ago.
