What I have had happen is the slip light come on when the ECU detect a wheel in the air and thus disabling the brake bias control. That is easy to trigger by driving up a ramp at an angle.
I experimented last night in the rain.
With the 3 sec hold on the button, (both dash lights lit), I could not get the dash lights to even blink when getting it sideways.
Maybe the snow can confuse the systems enough to think that a wheel has lifted (like your example), but under 95% of driving cases the system manages it just fine.
I am positive I can get it to do it again but I'll have to wait for winter to come around....
