No problem to winterize. Just blow the lines out or pull anti-freeze through the system. Never a problem with mine through our sub-zero Winters.

I would think because it isn't open,water would remain in the pipe because the air would have no way of going to the low points causing a potential for the water to freeze. I am just curious as mine has the drains and if I blow out the pipes with air and then open the drains, those pipes hold quite a bit of water. Way more than I would feel comfortable with. Just saying.

The air goes in one end of the line and blows anything in its' way out the other end of the line...I don't know how anything in the low point of the hose wouldn't get blown out. There is no tee in the line to fill up with water. Trying to blow out a line with a low point drain that wasn't open would cause a problem but these don't have a tee in them for that. Heartland did this to eliminate an area that was exposed to the outside and could freeze. I have had zero problems with mine freezing without the low point drains.
