I will admit that this was my first time driving in snow like that, and you're right, I probably could use some practice, but I tried so hard not to let the tires spin. Every time I let off, I found myself sliding back down the hill while the wheels were trying to get a grip. I got to a point where TCS was actually preventing the wheels from spinning at all so I turned it off. I think this was where I lost a good part of my tread, although I did get further up the hill. It was one of those storms where the roads were warm from the daytime and then it started to snow, melted on contact and later freezing into ice/slush with more snow on top. Next time we get a forecast like that my car will be in the driveway for the duration.
