Watch any WRC snow event (World Rally championship for you car haters) and you'll see that skinny is the norm. Look at a dually truck. there are two skinny tires on the back for a reason. Better traction.

Skinny tires penetrate deeper into the snow avoiding the snowshoe effect of larger tires. Find the skinniest tire with the blockiest tread for snow traction. In other words a cyclocross tire is what I'd choose.
it depends on what you get.

this is barely ridable with narrow mud CX tires.


this is not.


this is also not possible with narrow.
