It just started snowing up in ottawa today and I've come to a shocking realization. I have to slow to 30 KM/H or lower to make a turn without sliding but there's an up side. All I have to do is tap the gas to drift. Are there any other cool tricks I can do in the snow? Also does anyone have any Ideas on techniques or Products to improve my winter driving cause I don't always want to slide?

Umm, get a bag of rocksalt or sand and put it in your trunk for traction, get a set of winter tires, they'll last for years...
Move to BC? It's 8 degrees over here :)

Yeah, I thought about chains but they're illegal here in my little piece of the great white north. Same with studs. :(

Yeah, they're saying it's not going to snow this year in my part of Canada... pretty weak if you ask me, I wanted to rebuild my igloo :(
Oh well, guess I'll just burrow into the ground and cover myself with grass again...
Anyways, get a set of winter tires! Get a pair of steel wheels from the junkers, get a set of snow tires, and have them put on the steel wheels.

Donuts.
Drifts.
Brake Stands.
That's just a few benefits of the snow, enjoy the weather! We got snow here too, it's great!
Winter tires are what you need. Unless you have front drive; in which case all ya need is some good all season tires.
