It's easy. You point the front wheels in the direction you want to go, and accelerate. The front wheels will dig the snow and also throw it off the wheels if you spin them really hard so clean tires can bite better on the snow.

I know this on an intellectual level; like reading a book about riding a bike. But my learned instinct is to use my accelerator to control the rate of spin, which is a horrible mistake in FWD.

If you have too much forward momentum though, smashing the gas to get both wheels spinning kinda results in you just continuing to go straight.
