Wow. I really trust some asshole idiot on the internet that leaves gas in his snowblower all summer. At least use stabil in it. Any smart person would drain the tank and carb bowl.

Marinas that have dockside gas pumps usually sell ethanol-free gas. You'll just need to bring a bunch of 5 gallon gas cans.

It's becoming harder and harder to find ethanol-free gas, because of the "RFE" rules, especially in Winter.
This is really hard on pilots of airplanes with an STC that lets them use "mogas" (for cars), because ethanol absorbs water, which can then freeze in the fuel lines at altitude.
If you really want to be sure, you can get a test kit at any pilot supply shop online or at most airports on the general aviation side. That will tell you for certain whether your sample contains ethanol.
