You've asked a question that undoubtedly has a myriad of answers, depending on level of individual's experience/comfort levels etc. Me personally, I've towed multiple types of trailers off and on over the years, and I would not want to, and would go out of my way to avoid towing in snow. Just not worth it to me.
As others suggest, just fly or drive without trailer, and stay in a hotel. You will be far more relaxed and likely will enjoy the vacation so much more.

X Whatever to the fly and get a hotel room.
I have towed a couple times in in the snow, longest stretch Butt, MT to Spokane, WA , that was towing a small horse trailer. Took I90 over Lookout Pass, not a big load, and a 4X4. Towed our first 5er twice in the snow, the first time to get home from the coast over the coast range 28’ 5er in tow, 4X4 no chains traveled at about 45 mph. The next time was by choice less snow but wetter.
My thought is I would need to be extremely comfortable towing that 40’ on wet roads, before thinking of towing on the snow.
Carry chains for both the TV and 5er, chains on the TV leads to Jackknife!
