Towing travel trailer in the snow

I'm towing a Snowmobile trailer on snow covered roads and yesterday I saw more towed trailers than I normally see on the road during the summer months. The scary part is, they are towing faster than I tow during the summer months. These guys are passing me one after the other. No chains .

Curious as to how slow you tow your snowmobile trailer? I once towed a horse, with horse home to Portland from Western Ohio in early December. We hit snow as we crested the Rockies just east of Butte on I90, we had snow covered roads from there to Just east of Spokane. 4X4 F250, towed at about 50 to 55, as it was cold dry snow. The condition and temperature make a huge difference in how much traction snow provides. Cold dry snow has traction about the same as wet roads, where warm wet snow packs into wet ice, which has about zero traction!
