Flying in snow

While its not exactly the time of year for it I was just curious for input from some of the seasoned snow flyers about the profiles they use when operating in snow.
1. Runway takeoff... I would assume pulling in all the power from flat pitch and transitioning away as quickly as possible avoiding the hover.
2. Landing.... A shallow approach with touchdown, again avoiding the hover... what about on un prepared LZ s for example in the mountains...?

Any input would greatly appreciated especially from those who have flown in the snow on wheels.
Thanks ...Decks
