Front wheel drive with decent tires can get you most places. It's the places 
it can't that cause problems.   

As long as you remember that all of the weight is on the front tires and the 
back can go whichever way it wants, you can do OK - and that going is easier 
than stopping.  

(that last point is the lesson that SUV drivers will invariably miss, much 
to the chagrin of the people in front of them)

I spent lots of time up in the mountains in California. We'd go to the ski 
resorts parking lots after closing and practice getting out of skids. I hope 
it helped, although I usually try to stay off the roads when it's really 
bad.
