Terracross or XTR's?

[JohnnySplat]

Looking into some new tires for my grizz. I ride hard and fast, mostly hardpack, so I'm leaning towards the terracross, but I wanted to get some opinions first. Only reason I'm really interested in the XTR's is they probably perform a little better in deep snow, which is another important factor for me. Plus they look cooler, but that's beside the point. Anybody had the Terra's in snow?

I've heard a few guys talking about the Terracross as being good in the snow. I'm also leaning towards the XTRs when I get rid of my worn out OEM tires. But, I ride where there is bound to be mud no matter what I do.
