Weight in the trunk is a good idea, just not cement or salt unless you want a hole in the floorboard. Both are corrosive.
I used to carry big bags of cheap cat litter, no corrosiveness and sprinkled liberally can get you un-stuck. Hasn't been an issue since I moved to Florida.
Having been to boulder, I can tell you that you can get 2-3 feet of snow overnight, and although they have great road crews, the driving can be a bit like skating.
If you ever go to Boulder you will notice that one car dominates every parking lot and street. Subaru Outback. They are absolutely everywhere, and seem like they are at least 20% of the cars on the street.
