wow, I'm a skiier and not by any means in deep snow that often with my Audi, but I've heard that no one has had a problem with a stock ride height Audi and getting stuck in snow.
What springs are you on currently??
I think a lift would make the a4 look like **** IMO

If you got bigger tires a mild lift like your describing shouldn't look too bad. I was thinking of doing that too because the bottom of my Audi scrapes on so much **** around where I live it ain't funny. It'll scrape if a speed hump is a little too high, it's ridiculous.

its not pointless at all.... run a basic rally setup...
Do this, get tein's rally suspension... i think its like 1500, call them and tell them you want the true rally setup. You can run 18's and it will look like a stock ride height. The rally setup has stiff *** springs too, so you can fly over speed bumps and small children and the like.
...OR....
you could not drive through deep snow
Collapsable shovel.... 20$ @ the Home Depot

The only storm where my A4 had to stay parked was 3+ feet and it was buried up the side views. If i spend $1500 on a suspension that mf-er better be dragging its ***. to the op, where do you live? Are you gonna spend a bunch of time and money to have a lifted a4 and only go riding once a year? **** you could probably take the $1500 you were about to spend on a rally suspension and buy an old 4runner. Tune that bitch up and go ridin with out ever worrying about scraping.

^^^ true dat. Late 80's 4-runners are the ****!!! The body will give out a lot quicker than the drivetrain ever will.
And I have gotten stuck in snow a few times due to snow packing under my car and putting it up on a pedestal. But I doubt the lift will solve your problems. You'll most likely tip over.
