Agree but depends on the snow and if you are trying to float or get to the ground. In Iceland they run massive 44" tires to float. Tractor tires aka cookie cutters are for getting to the ground and thus better for snow in most cases. Iceland and antartica are special situations.
I am...
I caught it before it left. I love the Bows, Colorado side mostly, but never been the Albany lodge.
You might see my non-raptor on this camera in a few hours.

I've had 4 vehicles in my 26 years of driving.
87 Nissan Hardbody
98 Dodge Durango
06 Nissan Xterra
21 Ford Bronco.
50/50 split on origin but 100% built in America. Nissan Hardbody and Xterra were build in TN.
Those look neat.
I believe the trick is getting through that boron steel without consuming 3846 drill bits.
Boron bits ain't cheap but I think it takes them or carbide to get through that roll bar.

Chinns in winter...you're going to need tracks to get through the up to 40 inch snow pack that already exists there this season. A down blankie, a binkie, and 56 Twinkies. BTW it was marked impassible on 11/26/2022, you ain't getting to the lake unless on snowshoes, skins, or tracks.
Good...
I am going to be a dick. You're a noob and planning to going wheeling in the winter in Colorado, you have no clue, please stay home so you don't tax rescue resources. I know member a of Colorado 4x4 rescue that will tell you the same thing.
Be safe, make wise decisions.
A couple other options of similar style to the JCR.
