Blasters are not the greatest in snow. BUT they are very light and easy to pick up once you get hung up. My neighbore just ran 20" holeshots and inflated them to about 21.5" (for ground clearance. Didnt do too bad.

My blaster stinks in the snow, its a little better now that I have the blackwaters but still not that good... if its hard packed like snow like a snowmobile trail or something its ok can be fun but hard on the machine.. Anything over 4-5 inches and it just digs holes..

I have a stock Blaster, stock knobby tires, and it actually does pretty good in the snow. The other week we had about 8-9 inches and I was riding around my yard in it. That was on the flat though not on any hills! Mine can basicly go through pretty much, until it starts rubbing the bottom of the quad then it slows down pretty quickly!!

We are getting hammered with snow in NY right now.
There are very few 2 wheel drives that will go anywhere.(we have at least a foot of fresh snow with more falling as we speak)
I did manage to get the 400ex through it yesterday to start a trail...The banshee still had it's problems....and the blaster was OK once the trail got packed.
Off the trail...with the banshee or blaster...I am just ruining the motors trying to go nowhere.
