Yup, that made it easy!! Slow is definitly good on snow and ice.

When I said less throttle is good in snow and Ice I was trying to say, if
you get stuck very little throttle tends to get you out of a hole easier
than a whole bunch of throttle. I've seen a lot of people get stuck and
just sit there and spin the holy bejezuz out of their tires and go
absolutly nowhere! If they'd just take it really easy and barely give it
any gas (just enough to move) they'd find that they'd have better luck.
I've also found that "riding/feathering the clutch" a little when trying
to dig out of a hole seems to help too. Transfers less torque to the
tires I guess, therefore keeping down on the spinning.
JMHO
