OK, you panicked. Others release the brake for steering control.

Re: Snow-crawl on steep incline--LONG
You weren't there, Bill, so you don't know.
There were ruts on either side of the tires so steering control was moot. I
was sliding down backward very slowly. I said in the previous post, about
1/6th mile per hour, but after crunching the numbers it was more like
1/150th mile per hour, or abouy 6 inches per second. The locked tires had
some adhesion...had I released the brakes like you insist I should have I
would have gone down the hill much faster and possibly lost control. I had
ample time to get on the radio and tell the driver at the bottom of the hill
to move in case I slid all the way down, which in fact I did not. But I did
have to back down the rest of the way to get another go up the hill, a
little faster this time.
So your "what if's" are irrelevent to the event I described. Yet again.

Re: Snow-crawl on steep incline--LONG
Matt, I would have release the brakes enough to rotate the tire to a
part of it that was not filled with packed snow and stopped and/or then
put it in reverse and backed down under compression, just like you drove
down the same hill, going home.
