If the drifts get hard, and are anything over 18", you are going to have a bad day as the tires will crunch through the drift and you will be hung up, and you will then spin down to ice with no traction.
Odds are you will not have a shovel with you, and the best you can do is to drill a partial hole and leave the auger in the hole to winch against. Then turn around and head back to safety. Or at least that's what I did.

Carry a short chunk of 4x4 fence post, 3ft or so. Drill a hole, wrap the winch cable around the chunk of wood, drop it in the hole and your done
