I rarely drop in here as you can already see. My primary point is planning, planning, planning. Beyond that, only you can decide where you want to go and how best to get there.
As for your rear sliding out on ice, that is common in LSD and locked diffs. When an LSD breaks loose on ice and snow, it breaks both tires loose which will cause a full break of rear traction. An open diff is actually one of the best things for icy roads as it reduces the spin-out problem by allowing only one wheel to spin at a time. You can still spin-out, but it is much tougher. Now mind you I may be from Florida, but my X has made numerous ski trips with me including one I just returned from that required me to use 4WD and chains thanks to the fact that the areas I frequent don't have snow plows. Just so you know, my X is dual-locked, lifted and rather well equipped.
