@123qwerty Less or more snow? It all depends on your point of view. There is up to 25-35 cm of new fallen snow and conventional MTBs can not ride in these conditions . 5-10 cm of new fallen snow can make impossible to ride any conventional MTB.
@macsimka70 I don't know whether you are joking or not, I rode my bike to school (~2km) when I lived back in sweden in 30cm+ of snow on a pos $100 MTB
why would it not be possible? as long as your front tire cuts through the snow you can keep going, also new fallen snow is powdery and soft = the easiest to ride through, it gets worse when it melts slightly and then freezes, definitely need strong legs and stamina though
@123qwerty No, I am not joking! You can ride MTB on thin tires in 30cm+ snow fallen on hard frozen surface. But how you can ride MTB in 30cm+ a little bit wet snow fallen on a up to half meter of old pressed snow or firn? I can do that on my video. I had ridden about 10 miles in that snow. I assure that any MTB can not ride even couple of meters there!
@GOJU4LIFE1 Yes, it was not too easy to pedal and stay balanced but it did not prevent me to overcome about 10 miles only with two short stops on that snow.
Deep snow, huh? In Chicago, we call that a dusting. Color me unimpressed.
