EDIT: Acorrding tho this list, skunks DO hibernate but mammals that do hibernate do so in different ways. Some remain asleep the whole time and some just sleep more and feed and roam less.

Well they gotta eat! Skunks do not hybernate. You can tell a skunk has been around by their tracks/pawprints. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they are not there, take advantage of the snow and it will show you that skunks are around.

Heres a site that shows you their tracks.
