Throttle ice build up

Any tricks to solve the big ice block that builds on the backside of the flipper? Deep powder today it was building up and hitting the bars restricting the amount of throttle I had. Don't really want to not run the heater, but might have to if there isn't an easy hack for this. Thanks.

Every time I stop I just give it a couple quick snaps, never have an issue. My last polaris’ were horrible for that so I still have the habit.

My Polaris would build up by the throttle cable and keep the throttle on. Had to install a tether on those sleds. This is on the backside of the flipper. Never had that before. The heater wire holds the snow and turns to ice in there and it's hard to get out ( big chunk formed). Reduce throttle to about 3/4. Maybe I'll see if I can get the wire flat to the flipper so the snow can fall out.
