I drove my van all winter with enclosed wheel wells and had no problems with slush packing. The slush build up happens with or without the skirts and the wheels just make their own space to move. You results may vary.

The front air dam is another story. I lost that in a snow bank. I pulled into a driveway and hit the bank a bit. When I backed out the dam stayed where it was. I LOLed.

Thing is, make your mods easy to remove if you are worried about it. Or take them off in the winter.
