Living in the northern part of the pacific northwest I feel I have license to comment on this.
The surface transitions from snow to tarmac and tarmac to snow are extremely abrupt, and especially going from snow to tarmac on asphalt tires can be deadly.
In the snow sections there are spots of tarmac, and you sure know it, because if you're any sort of sideways on the snow (to be fast you kinda have to be using slip angle) and you catch one of the tarmac spots, you grip up instantly and get shot off the road.
This is not how it works IRL, I've been sliding on roads with spotty snow/ice, and believe you me when you go from snow to asphalt you're still gonna slide for a bit on the tarmac before grip returns.
this should be fixed, makes pushing at all on the monte stages where strategy requires asphalt tires impossible.
