I believe that snow scratchers are necessary for those conditions, They really do work.

If you ever get in a jam,buy a bottle of dish detergent. I had to use that this weekend to get back to the camp my slide were so worn and like you trails were frozen solid!!! Guy riding behind me had plenty of wear left on his slides,I had nothing,he said he never even smelled mine burning and when we got back his were pretty much gone mine were about the same as when we left. I kept stopping every few miles soaking the track and the slides. I noticed that the detergent never totally burnt off the track it kept it lubed. I'm gonna start carrying a small bottle for logging roads.
