what control scheme are you thinking of? it looks like you’re using current control with brake and no reverse. for snow I would imagining Bidirectional might be better, like an esurf.
Rider preference.

Looks like you’ve got some competition, though I think yours will outpower this one

I saw this on IG yesterday and didn’t know how to share it here, but this one is how I pictured the e-snow before the power traverse came about, a more permanent setup.
Edit: he made a other video:

That motor doesn’t have the torque to go uphill. One here on the bench.

So much power to turn these hub motors got me thinking to try and stuff 2 smaller skateboard motors inside the wheel.

With less wild shock loads like on esk8 MTB a gearbox looking that that should last ok.

A gear ratio will greatly benefit the torque of the motor, but I feel like it needs the traction too. You might not be getting enough of a “contact patch” from just a wheel.
I have some concerns with this setup.
Heat: locking the motors inside the cage will create heat. I think adding some ATF fluid should solve any heat issues. The rotor would be aluminum pulling the heat out of the fluid.
Dual direct motors: Will we be able to mechanically connect both motors with independent controllers and be ok???

I rode it to the top of a ski lift on ice pack. Traction is low but not the issue. After the first 10 yards, the board starts gaining traction progressively. A 200lb rider on board with no push needs a good bit of torque to break the initial surface tension.
I need to get the sensors working on the big stators to stop burning controllers. I have another cheap vesc here to try. I fried the trampa testing in the driveway before the big video
.
This is 30 days of sun-baked ice in the front yard with 1" of snow on it. The rider’s rear foot compresses the blades by 1cm allowing better traction. The blades are designed to eat more snow 
As we lean back into the snowpack it puts more pressure on the blades.
