Alolan-Sandslash good

Alolan Sandslash is not really good. One of the downsides is its bad STAB in Iron Head (low base power) and Icicle Crash (low base power + bad accuracy). His main selling point would be his ability Slush Rush if you combine him with a Hail setter like Aurorus (Slush Rush then doubles its speed).  But Hail is not a good weather overall (Rain with Swift Swim Pokemon like Kingdra and later Mega-Swampert and Sand with Sand Rush Pokemon like Excadrill is much better).

Yes, as Goldmedalcoach mentioned, Ninetales-A and Mamoswine are good. And so is Weavile.

Ninetales can support your team with Aurora Veil and perfectly accurate Blizzards (thanks to Snow Warning), Mamoswine has strong STAB in Earthquake and is a little bit bulkier than the other two and Weavile hits very hard, is super fast, but also dies to basically any hit (especially Fighting).
