Man I dunno, its designed for snow so hey you have to assume it does its job on snow unless that is you have actually tried one. I can tell you riding a normal bike on snow ain't a whole lot of fun.

Please, that's a US Navy rigid frame air ship. And it's safe too - we only used helium- the Zeppelins (German made ya'know) used hydrogen.

Phish... its like calling a vacuum cleaner a Hoover

The USA pursued airships for military purposes during the 1920's and 1930's, culminating in two remarkable craft, the USS Akron (pictured below) and USS Macon. Both used helium as a lifting gas instead of hydrogen, eliminating the risk of fire. However, helium was so scarce at the time that both airships could not be operated simultaneously. If one was filled with helium there wasn't enough to spare for the other.

by the sounds of it!
