I believe that the lower center of gravity of the bike itself may come in to play in this situation. I am also of the opinion that if the snow is deep enough to hinder 20" wheels you probably are going to have problems with pedal strike, even on a regular MTB. I have never had the opportunity to ride in snow over 6"-8" deep...fringe benefit of living in the Deep South
