BDifficulty 1/5

With suitable equipment and enough grip to continue, how should you climb a snowy slope?

Correct answer

Smoothly, at a reduced speed, trying to maintain it.

Use smooth inputs and a reduced speed suited to available grip, trying to maintain it without abrupt acceleration. With a manual transmission, use a suitably high gear that still allows progress and engine control without stalling, following the manual. This helps reduce wheelspin risk but does not eliminate it or guarantee climbing every slope. Do not continue if conditions or restrictions prevent it.
