I've got about 8" inches of snow right now here in PA and the roads are not very clean. There is snow on every road. I floor the VX at every stop and slide sideways around turns on purpose, it's really hard for me to make the VX lose control, believe me I try real hard. When I came in to work this morning there was about 2 inches of snow in the parking lot, it took everything I could do to make the VX do 2 donuts on the snow. I'm running BFG All Terrains, so maybe the aggressive tire is stopping my fun. Sounds like the tires are causing your problem. Do like Alaska says and start out in winter mode.
