I'm thinking of those wide downhill/freeride platform pedals like this:

Go clipless until its too cold or treacherous to do so. After than you can't go wrong with those pedals, which are based on the original Shimano DX pedal, originally intended for BMX racing. There is a reason why this parallelogram design has persisted for so long and has been imitated by so many other brands. With those metal pins, you'll get pretty good grip even with a thin layer of ice or snow on your shoes and pedals. As for knee pain suggested by the above post...its not hard to lift your foot and reposition it
