It DOES obviously (and audibly) struggle on snowy inclines but then, so do I. 
The mere fact there's a basis for comparison is impressive. So now that robots can balance on uneven and/or slick surfaces teaching them conscious thought will be a snap, right? This would be a good place for that nodding smiley I wanted, btw. 
I just feel bad for all those Kenyan distance runners who'll now find their marathon running jobs exported overseas to Boston (which is ironic itself; if this keeps up one wonders how long it'll be before robots running the Boston Marathon becomes an experiment. )
The DARPA people remain evil scary SOBs though.
