Yes, there are conditions where you are better off on skis or snowshoes than a bike. And there are conditions where you should be in a snowmobile and not a car or truck. What you're describing sounds like that.
Skis would probably be more reasonable at certain times of year, but the terrain between cities isn't exactly designed for skiing.
I know you want American infrastructure to not necessitate some sort of vehicle bigger than a bike, but it literally just does. Wanting it won't make the change, and making unrealistic suggestions will remain just as ineffective as making no suggestions at all.
Accessibility is also more or less non-existent with these proposed solutions.
