Well after doing tons of off-road snow driving this year I have learned two things when going through deep stuff... OR

1. Hit it fast and keep your speed up. You will see lumps in the snow where there may be rocks, stumps, ect.. avoid them

2. SLOWLY crawl. Be on the gas just enough to get the tires to move and crawl along. When the snow starts slowing you down, do not "give er". Let the snow stop you, slowly crawl in reverse, then crawl forward again. You'll get a bit further. This method may take a long time, but the moment you "give er", you just went 2 feet DOWN, not forward!
