Yes, used to ski with a friend here in CA who had one. They are actually pretty good in the snow for a two wheel drive vehicle, but the heater consisted of directing the air that’s drawn over the cylinders by the engine cooling fan into a couple of floor-moiunted ducts that both heat the passenger compartment and defrost the windshield. We took lots of dry rags to wipe off the inside of the windshield and a stout scraper to get the ice off the other side. The sun roof came in handy for the required scraping while under way. going to Tahoe was usually an “adventure.”
