Oops! I forgot to mention in my winter flying post that unless the snow is less than 1/2 inch deep or the top crust is really hard, the skis will sink in the snow and you will get stuck. Especially when you hit any sort of tracks in the snow. The best thing for winter snow is your trusty set of floats. I had a set of skis on an old plane and I was always getting stuck. A guy with a set of Goldberg Superfloats was going right through some foot long boot tracks with no problems. I switched to floats for winter flying and have never had any problems. Sorry I posted this after your post vacinekm.
