    I think its possible to use a Prius or similar car in snow country as long as you have good snow tires and are smart. Up in VT, NH and Maine you see alot of Prius's along with Subarus. You just have to wait until they clear the roads and not venture out during the full force of the storms. And yes ski parking lots, driveways etc pose a big risk due to the low clearance but people do it.

    Traction issues aside: regularly hauling a hybrid vehicle up and down tall mountains can be tough on the big battery.
