Hi David,

Not very steep, maybe 3 percent grade.  The problem is this is packed snow
at close to the melt point, and when you put the extra weight of a vehicle
tire on it, that area liquifies.  It becomes extremely slippery.

If this snow was at about 15 or 20 degrees, you'd have fairly decent
traction.
