Don't know how much 'fun' it will really be between sliding and busting your murphies and trying to plow through soft snow.
Maybe you should go the snowmobile route and save the Spree for warm weather.

Maybe he could get some short skis to wear on his feet as outriggers and just use the Spree for propulsion.

We ride our bikes all winter long in WI. Here's a pic. I have knobies on my Spree and for a grin I brought it along to ride on the track. It was plowed ice with some shaved stuff from the bikes going over it. It actually worked pretty good. Couldn't stop very good, but big sliders were fun. It was absolutely useless in the snow, not enough power to push itself forward.Image
