why isnt there icecross?

maybe its just me, but i think an ice and snow cross would be incredably awsome. i live in mn and want to get into autocross, but i missed the season here and i was thinking, why dont they flood parking lots and do it on ice and snow??? maybe its cuz im a minnesotan, but i cant imagin anything more awsome and challenging than that. anybody wanna give it a try sometime?

We have snowcrosses/icecrosses during the winter months. Super fun!
