Howdy from Wyoming @Loudog_401 , welcome to the community, plenty of fine folk and excellent information here. Yes I have flown in snow, winter is the best eight months of the year here.

Absolutely! All the time. It can handle very cold temperatures. The batteries need to be warm before launch (keep in a jacket pocket or warm vehicle) flight times will diminish a bit as well so be conscious of that. Oh, a landing pad or just a fold out piece of cardboard helps to launch from if you are in powder.

Just flew in a light snowstorm today. Everything looked so pretty that I had to get out and see it from above! -CF

Coming out of Rhode Island! Thank you all much appreciated. Warmed the battery up and she flew fine!

I just flew over bonnet. I have a good chunk of land. I was thinking the Rhode Island dessert or maybe to try to get some clips of the Newport bridge when the sun goes down. I'm out of Wakefield

Nice, there are so many great spots in RI. You should try Fort Wetherill in Jamestown. You can get great shots of the Newport Bridge and the cliffs there are perfect. The RI desert would be cool if you could film people riding out there.

I fly in the snow a lot! My Mavic Pro has never had an issue.

Nice yeah I didn't even think of that I use to hang over there all the time and beaver tail would be cool too. I'll be bringing it to all of the motocross races this year for j day off road. I just got the mavic on Saturday. Can't get enough of it

Love it!
Reminded me of the time I was in Ashland, Oregon. I love these cozy Norman Rockwell'esque towns in the middle of winter.

There are lots of great Mavic filters. The filter brands listed here are worthwhile checking out.

There ARE a few things that can go wrong, however.

1. You will get a low battery temperature warning.
2. I stop and dry props, top and motors, between batteries.
3. Got a snowflake lodged in one of the forward sensor "eyes" which stopped me in my tracks. Needed to go to sport mode to get home.

Cool. If you ever want to share notes let me know. Can't wait for the weather to break.
