If there is any wet snow followed by changing conditions/temps, it will be rendered useless in a heartbeat.
On a road that gets plowed, but has a packed snow surface, that thing would move along I guess. But look at it. Even without the tolerance issues, humping that thing through 12 inches of fresh fallen would be a F'ing nightmare. It aint gonna magically float across the surface. No, it's gonna cut a groove, and the that groove is too wide for human legs IMO. Loaded with camping supplies? Forget it. You'd make better time and use less energy walking.
TenSpeeedV2. You mentioned a smile. I don't know man. I look at that thing and all I see is drudging and misery. Like riding up the biggest hill, against a monster headwind, in the rain.
Once again, I must concur with the cephalopod marionette(this madness has to stop!). While it doesn't look 100% JA, I don't think it's (a) not well thought out and executed or (b) at all necessary.
