I live in the great frozen north lol-----( not this year it's not so cold anyways).
We get a lot of snow up here--- I dropped the nose of my fifth wheel put three sets of concrete blocks onthe back of the frame.....Then.. raise the front end---- to lift the tires off the ground a little bit ---which takes a load off the suspension and off of the tires.
I lift it so it angles to the back a little bit --so snow melt runs off...and putting stacks of concrete blocks at the front ---that way it's sitting firmly on concrete blocks ----and the suspension is not loaded.
so when we get lots of snow its( the weight ) is just transferred down to the ground through the frame..
Then in the spring......its easy to service the bearings, check brakes...etc.....:W
