<insert> After reading some posts regarding tires, I'd like to note that I'm running studded snows </insert>
Anyway, a hill in my complex was plowed just enough to pack the snow and form a nice layer of frictionless 'death-ice'. I rounded a corner, only to find my self skidding uncontrollably toward the heap of twisted metal. 7 cars were involved in various collisions, with 5 of us being directly interconnected.
Damage:
Scrapes/Dents on Rear door, front fender.
Broken Tailight.
To arrive at the scene of the accident, I had to first descend a much steeper hill, which was still powdery and untouched...with plenty of traction and no drama experienced for that portion.
Some pics of the fiasco:
