Answer
Sounds like you have a restricted main jet.  When your engine is running with no load it is mainly running off of the idle circuit in the carburetor. When you apply a load to the engine by running it in snow the throttle plate opens and requires fuel to be delivered to the engine through the main jet.  Remove the nut on the bottom of the float bowl.  The main jet is incorporated into this nut.  You can clean it out with spray carburetor cleaner and compressed air.  Hope this gets you going.
