Can't report on snow, seasoned or otherwise, but never underestimate the
usefulness of a barbed wire fence. I took my K2 to our Cal QSO Party
expedition in Alpine County one year and use an old, falling down fence
behind our camp connected directly to the BNC antenna connector through
a short length of RG-58 and the ATU didn't even run more than a second
or so. Made a number of CW Q's from 8,550 ft. We also used that fence
as the counterpoise for a 160 Inv-L a couple of times.

- the KX2, like the KX3, has a built-in wide range ATU that will match
anything from barbed wire fences to lightly salted snow.
Disclaimer: IMHO. YMMV.
