I'm not from the great white north and my experience is pushing snow vs
playing on top of it, but we've (my neighbor is setup similarly) got
ourselves into trouble /w only a foot or so, and usually related to what
kind and how much snow we've pushed before or are pushing. Also helps if
you keep it between the markers (which I have now installed along with a
new driver's side seat cover). For a grin check out a few pics from our
last real winter:http://bhadden.mystarband.net/
Long story, but a good experience. Weight in the back helps a "ton" but I
don't like how it dogs down. We've got some pretty good hills and are off
the beaten track.

Be careful, or you will end up with a 13,000 bob sled. You will be surprised
how fast a 2 1/2 ton will get stuck, and how bad it will get stuck.
