7. Do not play on snow covered tees. Especially if it's wet snow, the tracks will freeze and the person that comes later on to shovel will hate your guts. Ideally, bring a shovel and clear them off, you, everyone you're playing with, and everybody that comes after you will appreciate it. It's a thankless chore and can get old as the long snowy months wear on, but it's worth it. If not, play off to the side and don't mess up the tees for the person that will shovel.
The ribbon usually stays above the snow to more easily find the disc.
Army surplus store, the military makes some seriously warm articles of clothing. Gortex(rain and wind resistant) to top it all off and you are good to go.
This cannot be emphasized too much. Carry a shovel or broom depending on the amount/type of snow. Raise the stakes and add to the fun -- have the high score on the prior hole shovel the next pad.
One guy at my winter league was selling Swiss army gators. $15 a pair, and wool lined. With those one some guys were playing in tennis shoes.
We use present ribbon. 2' long. Stay away from dollar store ribbon and tape. Make sure the disc is warm when putting on tape. I used this setup a couple years now. The swivel keep the ribbon from fluttering, and pulling the ribbon under.

I am a shoveller, I will go out and shovel the teepads right after a snow, even when I don't have time to play, just because it pays off later. When I do have time to play, I don't want to be dealing with some jacka$$es footprints iced into the teepads for the next 3 months. That's worse than dogwalkers leaving turds on the fairway, IMO. :wall:
How can gators manage to move when it is that cold? And why would the Swiss army have any? Good price though, given how much they bring per foot in the south.
It is a lot of hard work to keep tees clean and one thoughtless moron can ruin it for everyone.
It's not that hard at all, if you can get to the virgin snow before the thoughtless morons trample all over it. Fortunately, thoughtless morons tend to sleep in.
I've got a small kid's shovel that fits in the umbrella side pouch perfectly, and we totally make the loser of the hole shovel the tee pad!
