When my warrior was in its stock stage it took to the snow like a champ - I was amazed at how well it plowed through 18 inches of fresh snow - my friends EX wasnt going anywhere.

*Snow isnt bad - its the salt if you ride the roads when they are snowy that is so wash it off.

*Orange County NY (1 hour and 10mins north of the city)

*sometimes it would get stuck but nothing some back weight and moving of the front tires back and forth wouldnt fix; one thing though when your putting a heavy load on the motor and need to up shift (when the tires are spinning in the snow) use the clutch (some people dont)!!!!

We got 18 inches of snow back in November. In some places it was 3 ft deep where the wind blew it.

My Mojave did terrible! I just spun......Took 1.5 hours to ride 3 miles to the bar cause I kept sliding off the trail and getting stuck.

Eventully the snow plugged my radiator and the bike began to get hot (I have a guage) So I had to stop and scrape the snow out of the radiator.
