On Being a Better Snow Driver...

There have been a lot of threads/discussions on snow/winter tires lately, so in relation to those discussions...

Where can I get proper training/education on snow driving? I'd like to enroll in a courses that covers the topic of breaking traction and the recovery thereafter.

I have been taking my WRX up to the snow since I first bought it in late 2001. However, I'd like to familiarize myself with proper snow driving techniques with the context of safety in mind. Any advice/insight beyond the common sense advice of "drive slow" would be appreciated. A referral to a class/course would be great! TIA.

snow chain/cables are your friend.

then use common sense.

classes can run $200+. chains? $35.

anyways, the bridgestone one is the one i keep remembering from years ago:
