The 8 has low torque and if you don't have it in the proper gear you'll be climbing slow. Drop that gear and roll with it. You'll have no problem then. Come on man, you have to know about the 8 and working the gears!

Elara, I live in Calgary which is a stone throw away from the Rocky Mountains. I visit the mountains for snowboarding or just general sight seeing. Oh also there are a couple of steep hills that I traverse on my way to work.

Sorry, I meant the original poster Since he sounds like he'll be driving uphill in snow on a regular basis.
