If the surface is fully covered with snow/ice, engage the centre diff-lock, it should be harder to lock individual wheels when braking.
(or spin them when driving away)
i found centre diff lock to be worse, as when a wheel locks up seemed to loose all drive when desending slopes which wasnt good

In really slippery conditions the centre diff lock can be your enemy rather than your friend.  Great for traction, but has a significant impact on steering.

The viscous from the RRC is much better in these conditions.
