Just how steep a snowy slope are we talking?

Anyone got any examples/pics of drives/slopes they regularly dominate in their 911 (or any other rear drive) in the snow please?!

I'm considering winter tyres (will more than likely get anyway for the other benefits) but my car is parked in an underground car park (which I live above) and it's a 1 in 4 slope to get to the main road.
It's salted and ridged reinforced concrete and generally cleared of snow if and when it does snow but even then it's no picnic walking up or down it.
Because I'm at sea level if I can get out of there then the roads aren't too bad. But that's the big if. And of course the bigger worry is going back down (no option of parking on the street) and smashing in to the brick wall at the bottom.

IF you have winter tyres then you will have no problem. I have taken mine through mountain passes and ski resorts with no problems.

1 in 4 is a big ask for a cold weather tyre, people get a bit confused about cold weather tyres and full on snow tyres.

Good to know. Thanks.

I'm looking at nokian WR which as far as I know are Mud and Snow.

Our compound at work has a gentle slope upwards (max 20 - 25 degrees?) when we've had snow the last few years we have had to push everything out of the uphill spaces (summer tyre equipped 9x6/9x7) I would definitely recommend winter tyres just to make my life easier!!.
