imshirazy, yes, twice (two very different situations).

First time tried to use it like a snowboard going down a hill. Didnt work. Didnt slide very well and turning was impossible because the rails are convex vs. concave.

Second time, wakeboarded during a snowstorm and slid a grassy bank covered in snow. Worked fine, slid well but I wasnt turning at all.

Verdict-Itll slide alright (not as good as a snowboard) but youll have a very hard time turning.

I imagine being towed beihind a quad or sled in powder might work better.

You mean like this? Rail jam at Big White, where I used to work.

(Sorry I can't embed, I fail at internets. Somebody want to do it for me?)
