P sure the answer is just techslide on the cold.

Just ride snakes or drifts in the winter and skate grippy wheels in the summer. But seriously super slippery wheels feel great in cold temps
@Logan Neikirk drifts worth the price in your opinion?
@Logan Neikirk funny you mention those two. I just started out a session yesterday and the pavement was probably like 50 degrees F? I had the 82a primos on and they were a pain to kick out, could not live my best schlub life if I wanted to, which I did. Put the 78a 66mm red drifts on and they were much better. But when the roads get below freezing I don't think any urethane is gonna not skip. Y'all gotta remember your coastal and sub 46th parallel cold weather is like not even close to what we deal with in the great white north. We're talking ice and snow on the sides of the road for 3 months straight.
@Kurt Derow don't you live in Portland? What are you talking about?
Anyway, snakes or purple kevins.
Always snakes and purps. Drifts and bangers also good in the cold
@Gabriel Fockler not anymore bro. I'm an Idahomie for now.
@Andrew Todd kinda leaning towards bangers for sure. Maybe drifts will hold up but I'm noTholding mybreath.everything turns into grippy rocks in the bone chilling cold up here in the Mountains.

@Kurt Derow yeah I mean even here most wheels are much grippier feeling (grippy pave) and because of micro climates I could skate varying temps. But the most consistent urethane I've found for all of it is powell peralta ssf. But yeah that's the main reason I moved, snow and ice sucks
