I think you're both correct, but Mark should have moved "loose" in front of
"snow". You can stop on any loose surface marginaly better by locking your
wheels and letting the material wedge up in front of your tires. However,
as it's only marginal, and as Scott says you lose all steering ability,
it's an ABS trade off I don't mind having.
