Question:
We are trying to find a drinking water hose that isnt such a wrestling match to roll up, and handle in cold weather. We have a heated hose thats a real stiff pain in the, well you know. What would you suggest?

Butt. It's ok, you can say it. Pain in the butt. I agree, a hard to coil hose can be frustrating. The colder it gets the harder it is to coil a hose. That is even the case for really flexible hoses such as Camco RV Drinking Water Hose # CAM22783 even though it would be better than most.
Usually a heated hose is easier to handle in cold weather because the heat makes it more pliable. But the heating elements are meant just to basically keep the water from freezing so if it is cold enough it won't warm up the hose enough to make it easily coil-able.
You might consider a hose that is naturally coiled such as Valterra EZ Coil-N-Store Drinking Water Hose # W01-0022. Cold weather would still make it stiff but its natural state is to be coiled so it would be easier to coil it up even when cold compared to a standard hose.
Otherwise sticking with a heated hose, see link, would be your best option.
