Default Best tire pressure for snow ??

I have a 2006 BRP Outlander XT 800 cc.
Should I use the minimum tire pressure in the snow? Does it make a difference.
Thanks Guys

if you have good gripping tires with big lugs it wont really make a diffirence what pressure you have. but the mudders credo: lower pressure=better traction and bigger footprint.

If you have radials you already have a big footprint without lowering the pressure so I run mine at the recommended pressure year round, mud, snow, or dirt.
