Can it be used in the winter on snow?

The actual tube fits in a protective canvas donut like sleeve. so there is some protection from tearing or cutting the tube its self. I have not tried that. seems to me snow would have more resistance than water and would put more stress on the rope loops but ive seen crazier things towed. I would consult the manufacturer.

I believe that this tube could be used on snow however there are two big differences between water tubes and heavy duty snow tubes. First the bottom of the water tube is fabric that has some texture whereas the bottom of the snow tubes is normally smooth PVC or Polyethylene. The air bladder on this tube is heavy weight PVC. The bladder on the heavy weight snow tubes is often rubber, the same as would be used in a truck tire. We have a LL Bean snow tube with a polyethylene bottom and truck tire inner tube that works excellently.

Do not know about that. Have not tried it on snow, only tubing behind a ski boat.

Have not had a chance to use it with snow, so really can't give a good informed answer. If she is in good health and has good to fair strength, she should have no problems with it. Light when on the ground.

We purchased ours to use in the winter and it works great. The description says it works in hot and cold weather but I can only vouch for cold weather.

Yes you can use it outside in the winter we leave ours out all winter and they still work.

Yes. I have had it out all winter long. Lots and lots of snow and ice here no issue at all. It handled it beautifully. It's a wonderful item. No problems with it.

We bring it in every time, but it would be fine in the cold if you remove the battery. It isn't good for in the snow, but works fine if parking lots have been plowed well.

it's primarily meant to use in the snow, I don't see how you would break it using it there. it is built pretty well.

I have yet to use it in the snow. As I bought it after the season. But I can tell you that it does excellent on damp wet muddy grass.

Snow might land on top of it, but that would not interfere with the operation. I live in Detroit and we're near record snowfall this winter, but this unit is performing like a champ.

Probably not if you get a lot of snow it will not hold the weight and heavy ice would also be a factor. I really believe the material this is made of will not hold up in harsh winter weather

Nope, it also lacks enough power to be of much use in snow deeper than 3 or 4 inches. Spend the extra money for a gas unit.

I'm pretty sure you could. We had it out in the snow last year and the rain this spring and summer - no problems.

It depends on how cold the day is. I wouldn't count on it in the winter. In the summer it works great.

I have used mine several times during the winter, including once when it was snowing. It requires more fuel, but the insulation on helps out quite a bit and I didn't experience any significant issues.

If it is a last resort then yes. I would not purposely use this in a blizzard or snow.

I have not tried this but I see no reason why it wouldn't be useful to blow snow. Of course, the snow would have to be blowable meaning not wet and icy. Also, battery life is limited.

we have only used in on plowed areas. It would fare well in deep snow. At least the two small front tires wouldn't.
