England, you might consider flying off the snow with a float plane....I've
done so with a Seniorita and a Fun 51 fitted with Gee Bee plastic floats
with great results.Floats are better for soft snow, but skis
skitter around less on icy snow. Add a big thermos of hot chocolate or
coffee and you'll be "cold , wet , miserable and very happy ".Give it a try
.
Good flying,
Pete Baylinson
