Chock RV on snow/ice. NEED HELP!!!
Question: How do you get enough traction on ice or snow to chock the tires of a travel trailer on a slight slope? So, I just arrived at the parking lot of my nearby ski park. It was 8pm on arriva...

I've overnighted many times in snow and ice, but have always found level ground and left my TT hooked up.
Chocking on ice is not easy, as the risk of sliding is high.
I carry a truck full of hardware wherever I go so my inclination would be to get one of my many blocks of wood I carry, along with some 4 or 5 inch decking screws and screw blocks of 2X8 or 2X6 into the ground against the tires. Assuming you are not on pavement. A few screws through the blocks into the ground and it's not going anywhere. Do both sides. You could screw your chocks to the blocks if needed.
In addition to that, if it will reach, crank your hitch jack down without using a block. The pipe will dig into the ice and provide an anchor point.
