When we tried it last Saturday at Firemantim's, it was not quite cold enough, I think.
In spite of acclimatization, we had problems with snow sticking to the tracks.
In this area, the ground resists freezing and if it is in the high 20F degree range and the sun is out, the snow gets ''sticky''
However, it has been colder her the last few days and the snow has more of a powder texture, I expect that would be much better than it was on Jan. 8th.
Try some aerosol furniture polish on the bottom of the tank and on the tracks to keep the snow from sticking (just like we use for skiing). DO NOT use WD 40. If you have black/dark tracks they will get warm sitting in the sun and attract snow quicker. Compressed air is the best thing to clear snow packed tracks. Let me know how you make out.
