In traffic, I drive very carefully, using my AWD, Blizzaks, etc as a buffer to compensate for morons like this mornings BMW driver. I had no trouble stopping in time and maneuvering around him.
But, if the road is empty, I tend to boot it! Hanging the tail out, opposite lock around bends, crashing through drifts, and so on. On my way home, there is a new road that has barely any traffic, but is four lanes and divided with no level crossings. The right lane has drifted snow, so of course, I didn't use the left one. There's also a sweeping right hand bend marked for 60, so of course, I took it at 100, sideways.
The Forester is like a snow-use drift-car. Get your foot into it, and it can be launched into a steady-state oversteering condition that is wonderfully controlled thanks to the front tires also scratching for traction.
