I don't think that road would have stopped me, but I would have been going slower. The grip was a tire width wide, deviate from that and you get what we see in the video. That snow looks like the real slick kind, it's like snot. The snow just started, the ground is still above freezing. Gotta take it slow through the hills and the curves. I had the trailer try wiping me out behind my 1500 last year. I went to pass someone going egregiously slow downhill and the trailer started whipping. I grabbed a handful of trailer brakes and got it back, by then the other dude had checked up and I was on my way again, albeit on high alert. I pulled the car farther forward for the return trip, but it's still not as good as it used to be. I've added a bit of stuff and weight to it and the 1500 doesn't seem terribly fond of the present layout. For now I use the dually, but long term I'm going to better centralize the weight of the contents so it's not concentrated at both extreme ends. My tongue weight is sufficient, but there's a lot behind the trailer axles. Knowing to grab those trailer brakes saved me a lot of asspain that day. I think if dude in the video had done that going downhill, he could have gotten it hauled down in time for that turn.
