Is the snow-depth a deal breaker?

Whilst it would be nice to have snow depth, I don't mind not having it. The only reason I liked snow depth in previous games was because certain actions and activities could only be done with deep snow, and I would cheat to get that level of snow. But from what I've seen you can do those activities in the regular snow from the trailer. We've only seen a few clips of snow from the trailer and so there might still be snow depth for all we know, They aren't going to show every little detail in a trailer because then what would be left for us to explore?
