Anyone has any advise on whose SUV will do better, on ice on a steep slope, around a hairpin turn (her morning commute)?

Forget all SUV's which have a high center of gravity and thus subject to rollover...especially with no shoulders and deep ditches. Look at Audi's 4WD sedans which routinely win European winter rallies. If I were forced to buy an SUV (which I've personally vowed to never do in my lifetime), I would look at the BMW which has the best crash test results.

Check out the Alcan5000 rally results...in your backyard..."This 14th Alcan Rally started near Seattle Friday February 11, and finished in Anchorage Saturday February 19. Overnight stops included Quesnel, BC; Whitehorse, Yukon; and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska."
