my first solo flights were on skis.. personally, IFTHECONDITIONSAREDECENT, landing on snow is easier to me than landing on hardball runways.. its a heck of alot of fun too!!.. Ideally, a light dusting of powder on top of some good somewhat packed snow underneath that is smooth is best.. also helps to be below freezing in my experience.. give it a shot.. I enjoy the pi$$ out of it!!
