I keep a snatch strap the car (I have pulled quite a few people out with my little cars). For the one or two days a year you "need" 4/AWD a set of cable chains works great.

Remote start is a nice connivance, but a coolant heater is more efficient. In 10 years of being up here I have never thought one necessary.
