Even without Trac Control, if you're riding snow tires, you should be able to feather the throttle enough to prevent spinning and sliding. I would make sure your front brakes aren't dragging. It doesn't take much to affect your traction in the snow.
You know, I don't remember spinning around this much last year, with the sand bags in the trunk, and I drove all winter...I will check out my brakes, blacktop...thanks.
