New raptor owner here

Trying to get a general consensus here about the snow capabilities of the gen2. Has anyone taken it through deep powder(3ft or more)?

14 inches of fresh snow on concrete was no match. The guys who do the raptor run up in michigan i am sure have done a lot deeper snow.

I've never had any success airing down in the RTO area of NV, taller, narrower tires is pretty much the universal answer around here, which I'm assuming the internet is about to let me know that's dead wrong. I steer clear of snow more than 18" deep mainly because you never know what's under it or where there's a real edge on the road that may slide you into a ditch.
Funny, seeing the title of this thread, the first thing I thought was those tires are pretty wide for snow running.
Float is for the internet, and Icelandic type builds. Wide tires and low pressure does allow some flotation, but, in my experience that is a terrible thing, as, once you spin the tires, or hit a soft spot, you are now hung up on your belly... where the narrow tires keep you down on the ground, and pushing the snow.
