Beautiful!
just one question, were you able to actually go UP that hill or were you lucky and it stopped sliding backwards down it?
(remind me to tell you my experiance "going up" a hill in Alberta)
That "hill" is my driveway. It doesn't look that steep, but it has foiled many ill-equipped vehicles in the winter. I have less-than-fond memories of installing snow tires at -30° in the dark on the flat end of my snowy driveway when I foolishly swapped some cars around in the garage and couldn't get one of them back into it.
I had expected I would have better luck reversing the Pantera back up it, but in the end it was better just getting a bit of a run and going forward. The laneway curves about 2/3 the way along, but fortunately there was nothing harder than snow to run into (well, except the house at the end).

Quite impressive. Very clean white paint to look that good against snow. I really like the setting.

Pretty indeed. At least you have the weight in the right place. When I just got my CTS-V I had to drive it to work in fresh snow and with 650 HP and summer tires. Chaos on all streets, everybody going slow. I had a few not insignificant inclines during my 47 km route. I had to plan them very carefully, I went slower up them than the others so I would have a gap in front of me, because morning traffic stopped occasionally, and I knew that if I had to stop on an incline, I would not get it moving again until spring. Ordered winter tires/rims that day...
