Those are good questions. There are several reasons related to driver errors, primarily, and conditions secondarily.
How: I was fully loaded with camping gear & my 3 adult children. I had not aired down my tires for extra flotation. I hit this remnant snow drift at about 15mph. It was warm, and the snow was heavy, wet, and soft. My speed and momentum carried me a good 20 feet into the drift & left my Jeep resting on the skids & frame with all 4 tires spinning. If I had been going faster, I could have blasted all the way through the drift. Much slower, and I would have been able to take multiple, controlled attempts, plowing snow as I went. The winch I had recently bought was still in my garage rather than installed.
Why: we were cruising around the forest roads trying to find an alternate route to our campsite for the weekend. My maps showed that we were only a couple miles from our intended destination.
Before driving into the snow drift, I told my kids that if I try to drive through it, I'll probably get stuck. I wasn't worried since I thought I had a shovel in the back (left at home by mistake). Worst case, we could always just camp there for the night. We partially unloaded and dug out in about an hour and all had a good laugh.

I love the white on black! (and I loved my Stompers!)
Jeep with winter wheels on. I know the white on black is ugly, but it reminds me of “stomper” toys I had as a kid.

Got up to the great white north this weekend finally. About 2 feet of snow on the trails, my Dad in his TJ and I took turns breaking trail, but we ended up turning around about a half mile in. Drifts got too deep. It gave me a list of things i want to mod now though
