However, even with that experience, my first track event was quite an eye opener. I felt I had time to react in the snow. I was completely caught off guard by how fast a mistake was punished by my '91 Toyota MR2 on the track! Plus, I suspect almost all of my snow based oversteer conditions were caused by over application of the throttle, not lifing in a corner.

Jack's point deserves an underscore. Sliding at low speed in the snow or wet is really not the same as sliding in the dry. The dynamics are similar, but the speed at which events occur is radically different.
