You have no "wide stance" skis on snow, > for stability....
Make sure that you wear a crash helmet and full body moto-cycle leathers and body armour for your first test run....

Re: ski bike
ya i have seen that not a bad idea but i have a feeling it would not work to well in deeper snow the rear track is only 1.5 inches wide causing sinking problems. I have been wanting to stud my tires but I really don't need to I ride in the snow, It just takes some getting used to, balance, and practice before you really get the hang of it. I think just the front ski would be more useful with a studded tire on the rear. plus I xcountry ski in the winter so there is not really any time to ride the bake trails even if i had it.
