There are a couple of "lessons learned" to take from this: one is not to use tires that just have the studs going down the center (Nokian W106's?), and the other is not to lean the bike as aggressively as you do in the summer. Moving the center of gravity away from over the wheels is just begging to have the bike slide out from under you.
