I'm trying to cut back on the weight of my pack for some of the longer trips and I was thinking of ditching the tarp I use as a ground cloth for my next trip. We'll be camping on a pretty thick layer of snow, so I'm not too worried about puncturing the floor with a stick or rock and the temp will be below freezing so I'm not too worried about getting wet.

Still, I've always used the tarp, so I'm a bit hesitant to go without it and thought I'd get some expert input on the idea.
