The W409 is a great deep snow tire but struggles a little in the ice, which it seems is what you were having problems with. The snow around the car will just act as a wall to get over while your tires fight to grip anything they can.

For ice, you need something like the Blizzak WS70 or Conti ExtremeWinterContact. Both have more sipes to help grip the ice.

And like others have said, flip track off or go to sport mode to gain some control over the car in these conditions.
