The power loss experienced in Denver is irrelevant compared to the practicality of an AWD car for winter. I would not be a fan of having to drive my z year round. I am lucky enough to have a WRX and a Z but if I could only choose one it would be the WRX because of the amount of snow travel I do. If you have an alternate transport for snowy days be it the train, a bus, skis or telecommuting then the Z would be fine but if you like traveling in winter then you need a better snow car than the z. Even a cheap Fwd with excellent snow tires would work.
