All my snow driving is on the mountain pass roads so there's really no place to put control to the test.

That's a good question...I can't really speak to which is truly better in snow. Trying to get traction in a slippery mess is different that trying to get traction on a dry, obstacle-ridden terrain. Judging from my experiences, the level of control and amount of traction feel about the same between the two in snow; so I generally roll with everything unlocked.

Thinking about it, I guess I feel 'better' with the truck unlocked in snow...that way the computer and the TC are controlling the torque, allowing it to adjust and compensate as needed. Like I said...slippery is different; on terrain you can judge what and where you need the torque to get traction...but slippery is just slippery and unpredictable and can screw you in a heartbeat.
