The skiers beside us don't know what to think. One minute they were traversing a catwalk from one run to the other, the next minute there's a $90,000 Mercedes-Benz sedan merging onto the trail like some sort of Bond villain on the run.
They move over, so we ease into the gas again, blowing by in a plume of powder as we make our way down a ski resort access road that crisscrosses several trails along the way. Most people think you need an SUV to pull off a stunt like this, yet we're barreling down the slope in a 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic as if it were just another side street.
No one in their right mind would subject their own S550 to such conditions, but Mercedes wants to prove its new AWD S-Class can do more than climb icy driveways. After several runs up and down the mountain on what looks like an oversized bobsled track, the effectiveness of the S550's new 4Matic AWD is obvious.
