So what exactly would you say caused those spinouts?

Why? Should you add any weight, and if so where?

Does adding weight help by increasing traction to drive wheels? Or keeping the rear planted? Or just more overall weight is always better in the snow because less tendency to slide etc?

I have no experience with it, what would you suggest? Just practice on snow in a parking lot?

Thanks for the responses.
