My experience in snow has been with much deeper snow, with any pavement or other solid service being many feet below.

It really did quite well, so long as it wasn't soft enough (think afternoon sunshine) to sink in too deeply -- an X2 would do better in that regard. I've sunk in deep enough into soft sand as well. Rule-of-thumb -- if you sink in deeply enough the platform rests on the surface, you can't move until you step off and get it back on top of the material first.

The other area is that on snow you can't climb nearly as steep a hill as you can on solid ground. This isn't surprising, of course.

I was never able to do the sort of sharp turn-and-slide shown here -- with the deeper snow, I had too much sideways traction!

Great video; fun to watch! Thanks for sharing it.

Obviously, we can't have infinite voltage, or the universe would tear itself to shreds, and we wouldn't be discussing Segways.
