What's the snow altitude? Now from North America and not living there yet,
I don't know if you'll run into snow. If you do, take advice from the local
authorities if you need tyre or winter tyres.

Not if it's in good mechanical shape - that means the brakes are fine, the
engine doesn't need a service and the transmission works good.

You'll be wanting to keep the transmission (automatic or manual) in a low
ratio - same gear for going down as you would on the way up...
