Did you make the snow skis for the LT-40 or were you able to buy them?

Not really: Pretty nasty things can happen when the hot engine touches the cold snow. You should try to avoid this, else the engines body can crack by the temperature shock!

Isn't a prop strike a real danger when landing in soft snow?

This was taken at the Newton SkyKing's flying site in Newton. You and I are one of the "rare" ones who like to fly on snow.

The fellow who owns the LT 40 made them out of some scrap aluminum gutter material.

Maybe so but we fly nitro and gas motors throughout the snow season with nary a single engine problem except they sometimes do not like to start in the cold so we "persuade" them with a 24 volt Sullivan starter.

Nope, worst case all that happens is that the prop is stopped by the snow.
