Yes, absolutely. I've done it many times when I lived in Winnipeg ... on everything from light skiffs of snow up to about 6 or 8 inches deep. The deeper the snow, the more of a workout it is.
I've never got into mountain biking ... but put a few inches of snow over the trails and I loved riding them.
A tip ... flatten the tires. If they normally require 50 psi or something like that, bring it down to 30 psi. And go and enjoy.
