Is this a hypothetical? Yes

After looking at Odin's quad in the garage and seeing all that snow and slush around the rear suspension I was wondering if it could happen.

It a appears that once the thawing process of the snow on the quads has begun it must be completed or it could happen.

LOL, It would be hard to freeze the rear CV joints on a Magnum wouldn't it?

Amazing, I've been snow plowing with my Rhino and I usually use a snow brush to clean the packed snow away from the boots and steering linkage and other areas before parking for the next snow fall
By the way Odin vs Olaf???

Not sure about tearing a boot, unless you stop, let her freeze up, then take off. Keep the quad moving, let the water fly off and don't let the ice build up. Mine is now a solid block of ice after hitting 4" of slush in -20 weather. I'll get out the 220 construction heater and let her thaw out good, and avoid the slush if I can.
