I hope this relates, but we used to lay MF and HF antennas on the surface of the snow or even ice in the Canadian Arctic. When we started it was a big deal to use some poles about 5 or 6 ft long to support the antennas, then we noticed it did not mater (when they fell down) so we just let the wire lay on the surface.
