I know they are high performance tires...not intended to be used in the snow...but i wana go snow boarding this weekend and i don't have my factory tires/rims anymore.
How bad will it be?

Real bad. They'll be like hockey pucks, and you'll have zero traction.

Default If you encounter any significant snow they will be dangerous. I took my SP8000's in snow.....
and braking was almost non-existant. Where are you going? If you're in the Northeast, I wouldn't worry. There's no real snow on the roads yet.

four times zero is still zero. get real winter tires (or mud and snow tires at the least)

Default I'm only going to Mountain High in SoCal. But they had some snow up there recently...so I think
I'll have my friend drive. I have a hard time trusting anyone else's driving...especially in the snow.

Yup, it was my first time too. Watch out for the poles that hold up the ski lift, OK?? They hurt.
