besides the string techinique, any other advice for snow playing [chicago guy here]
Good to see all the MI boys chime in on this topic.
What kind of ribbon and how long I can't believe I'm considering this! I'm gonna have my pretty bright discs with ribbons!!!!

24 inches of colored construction string ( orange,blue, green) or the same length of X-mas wrapping ribbon duct taped to the bottom of my discs works well. It's not fool proof, though. Sometimes a disc hits a snow bank and the string winds up like a yoyo. Still gotta watch those discs. I like to leave my bag in the trunk or set in on the porch for an hour or so before throwing in the snow. Snow sticks to warm discs, less so for discs at outdoor temps.
I set up my 3-4 primary drivers with string and leave the putters/mids alone.
The string does act like a kite tail...discs behave more overstable. Carefull not to let the string get tangled in your glove. I dress a little on the cool side, I've found I warm up nicely after trudging 2-3 holes. Sweating under multiple layers at 15 degrees is not so pleasant when I get to the back nine.
well, in the deep snow its a 20 dollar difference depending on the plasticI tend to play the most DG in the winter...non of us here in Wisco even bother with taping string or ribbon to our discs that I know of...I have tried the ribbon/string thing but cant stand it, it just in the way of all the movment of throwing IMO...
one of the best winter tourney's up here is the "Snow Throw Massacre" normally in Feb but every time there has been at least a couple feet of snow on the ground and the turn out is around 100 people and for the most part no body really ever loses to much plastic...in the last 3 years I've only lost one disc in the snow so far
