I have to say scot, I am one of these mountain bikers who just doesn't get these at all. Then again I did most of my mountain biking on skinny tyred XC bikes with no suspension.
Again, because as you say...you've never had to cross 300+ miles of deep snow.
I used mine for pure xc too in scotland and it was my favourite bike by far...and i've ridden a LOT of different MTB's. :)
