Default 4x4 burning smell

Hi guys can you help? I was driving up the mountain in the snow having a great time in 4wd and noticed a burning smell. There was no smoke or anything, but I don't remember having that problem last time I used it. As soon as I put it back in 2wd the smell went away. Is that normal? Could the snow buildup on the undercarriage caused that smell (wishful thinking) or is this a symptom of a serious problem? I look forward to your input!
