Is it possible there is a ground clearance issue?

I have only had issue with my 1998 Outback in spots where the snow and ice is so deep that the car actually drags through the snow which is a huge issue for traction.

I live in Tenino, Washington and we are at a slightly higher elevation than the surrounding areas, so we get snow instead of the seasonal rain, and we have a steep hill to access HWY 507 S. to access the surrounding areas. The winter conditions here become quite extreme at times and I have used cable chains in really bad conditions of snow, slush and icy spots, to get in and out from my home, but remove them at the bottom of the hill. This is the first year that I see a marked difference in trying to get out of my driveway and down the road. My car (in 'Low') and cabled up, still slides on the ice and snow, at an almost uncontrollable degree. I've never experienced this before. Do you have any suggestions? The site is great! I will be referring to it often:-) -Jaymes Hi Justin,
