Complex question, depending on how deep, how wet, how steep, etc. But
well worth a shot. Especially at night when everything's so quiet.

But
a general rule of thumb is to run the fattest tires you have, at the
lowest pressures you can, and keep as even a rhythm as you can, like you
would in sand. Run flat pedals, and lower your seat. Beware of

sliding
out to the sides, which I've done. I don't have studded tires, but

folks
that do really love em.

Cool pictures and some snow riding advice hidden amongs all the crap in
our local mtbr forum:

I've got rim brakes, so that may prove interesting. Mebbe I'll test out

the
process riding around in my back yard. It's colder than hell around here
right now (high of 11 F today) so the snow is squeaky and dry. There's
about 3-4 inches on the ground, so it will be interesting to see how the
bike reacts in this stuff.


3-4 inches is a blast.
