It would probably work good, but the battery will likely die quick. It dies pretty quick when I drive in tall grass.

It has a nylon bottom and won't slide very well on the snow. Icy hill, maybe but it won't be very stable. Also it doesn't have cold crack additive in the PVC and could bust if it gets too cold.

For an electric snowthrower it does very well. It's a very strong tool. You merely have to adjust your speed to the density of the snow.

I purchased one for my wife for Christmas. We still have 6 inches of snow on the deck. Needless to say it's still in the box. Sorry

Great in the water. Have not used in the snow. I do have 3 snow tubes from LLBean and they are great. Highly recommend them. Based on that experience I'd say Big Bertha would work but it is big and heavy and hard to move about. Also the snow tubes have an extra heavy hard rubber/plastic bottom and bumper that protects the inflated tube. Given that I'd say buy a true snow tube.

We got this last Christmas and the kids (age 6) really liked it. You have to buy the liquid that goes with it to make the snow (like bubbly flakes). My grown son went up on the roof to operate it. We live in FL so it didn't get snowed on but you do probably need to make sure it doesn't get wet. I'm not sure if it is waterproof.

I bought a Snow Joe 622U1 in 2011. I was impressed. I live in NE Missouri and do get snow, heavy and wet at times, and use it about 5 -8 times a season Not like a big, gas one, but it beats shoveling.. No problems until tonight (feb, 2014, 4th time this season.). I hit a chunk of ice and it broke a belt. I got my money's worth.

It work fine, a little snow means nothing to it. Just make sure you bury it in ground before the snow or your snow thrower will eat it up like I did with mine! $60 shredded to snow dust!!!

Yea it sucks, i bought mine right before winter and it didnt survive winter. Ice snow and wind were too much for it.

It's pretty loud. I only use outdoors. I wouldn't recommend indoors. The snow on these snow machines (and others I have used) come out looking great but piles up on the ground looking s little sudsy. It would get a carpet soaked or hard floor slippery.

Got it for Christmas, and it's been hardcore winter since then, so we haven't used it much yet. Looking forward to spring. I can tell you, though that it doesn't work well for very long at all in very cold temperatures. That's no surprise; the information that comes with it tells you that. Also, it's a pistol and doesn't have the velocity of the rifle, so it won't have the accuracy or range of the rifle either. Compared to a rifle, you would need to be pretty close range to do any real damage to anything. Even then, we shopped and compared pretty hard before buying this, and like it very much. It was a good choice for us. Hope this helps. Got it for Christmas, and it's been hardcore winter since then, so we haven't used it much yet. Looking forward to spring.

My Grandkids use it outside all the time. you didn't say where they live, but if they live where they have snow it may be difficult for them to use in the winter.

it obviously is not as strong as a medium priced gas snow blower. most problems are associated with it's low profile in a snow over 12" deep and it struggles in wet snow. however it got me through winter of 2013 and was a great improvement after shoveling by hand. didn't have any overheating problems. a good machine over all.

Yes its great in the snow, just imagine pushing a mountain bike vs a shopping cart.

I really like the BFGoodrch All Terrain tires. They are very good in driving in the snow, especially at this time of the year.

Not sure about the snow, but I live on the gulf coast and mine is holding up pretty good! It is heavy duty and it is very nice, the picture doesn't do it justice!

I think the wheels are fine. You can't wait until 6 inches of snow has piled up. If you get out there with it after 2 or 3 you can move the snow very easily.
