I've had lots of issues in sticky snow with build up behind a Mucky Nutz / Marsh Guard etc - one EPIC high speed endo at Cumberland a few years back where I had time to try flapping my arms for more lift. But once removed I had no more issues even with tight clearance in terms of snow clearing itself.
I know a couple of people with non-Boost DVO Diamond forks running 2.5" Minions and 2.35" Magic Mary's and the clearance at the top is really tight. No problem with snow clearing last winter sans fender.
We had some pretty sticky snow last year for Vancouver, but - like mud clearance and... well... everything - gear reviews/editorial always needs to be read through the lens of local conditions.
