Default 2011 crv awd in snow

So I got my brand new crv tues and today we had our first snow 5-7 inches and I was out in it and I dragged at some parts. Only once or twice but how bad is that for my new car?! I am I going to hurt anything? I know they dont have skids plates......

Is what bad for it...
You "dragged"? What does this mean?

I guess the question is this: is there anything that seems broken, making noise, or anything out of the norm? No? Drive your car. It's just snow.

To be more specific I hit a few large snow piles that I could hear hit my undercarriage. Is that going to mess anything up? As you said it's just snow but still if it's icy it can be pretty hard.

While clearance is pretty good I would still avoid the really icy stuff. Snow probably doesn't matter much but some of the really hard packed frozen stuff could logically damage like a rock.

I think your car is more durable than you think.

yeah anything important is covered and protected, only way to do any real damage is to really hit the undercarrage with like rocks or a curb or like hardpacked ice/snow


but if your worried, just do a visual check, get under there and look around, you will be able to tell if anything broken or messed up
