I have a couple of friends with Pugsleys. Those are great -- they ride up over everything. I'm not ready to drop that kind of $$! I think both Salsa and Surly are owned by QBP.

Riding in snow is not a problem- admittedly slow due to drag and studded tyres do not help on grip. But with snow comes low temperature and that means Ice. That is where studded tyres do work. Even the most aggressive Knobbly does not work on ice.

And the reason my bike is on its side is that I laughed so much at the rider in front of me falling- that I did the same.
