How are wooden ribs holding up in cold coastal climates?

I have my eye set on the Murphy Rebel, but there are other interesting planes out there for sure! Both the Kitfox and the Highlander are interesting planes, but I was just wondering if the laminated ribs will hold up well in cold, coastal climates? I live in Norway and wont do any real bush flying. You're not allowed to land anywhere but on private fields, strips or airfields.

Oh, and it's going to be an microlight, so it just simply can't weigh more than 716 lbs without a rescue system or 771 with. It just can't. Everything heavier is out of the question...
