A punctured float is always a concern, but slush isn't likely to puncture a
float; it just makes a ton of drag.

My buddy Buzz Fiorini used to fly his C180 floatplane over to Sun Valley and
land on a snow-packed meadow. Did it regularly, for years, with no damage.

May have put ski wax on his floats.

Would puncturing a float be a concern when it comes to ice?
