So...your CPS went, and made you drive down over a steep incline and into the side of a snowy hill...?

I think I'm missing something.

actully i was going up the hill and it got to narrow for me so when i was backing up my tire caught the downward part of the hill and it started turning sideways i tryed going foward and it got worse so i decide to just go down the hill but i was going down at a angle my jeep died on me and i had no stearing and i had to try to turn to the easy way out but didn't end up that way so i was just tryin to get my jeep off the hill so they can pull me and thats where i ended up.. happy now??

Cool your jets there, hoss. Just trying to clarify what actually happened, since there wasn't much of a correlation between what you posted for text and what you posted for photos. After running out of breath reading your run-on sentence, I think I've got a good idea of what occurred.

At least you weren't hurt.

you need some good recovery points in the rear.
I would have pulled the rear of the jeep sideways in the ditch so to be parallel with the trail, then pull it forward back on the trail.
