Preface: I don't have Front LSD, I have factory rear LSD.
If you hit the skinny pedal, it will lose traction in both tires and slide all over. My 98 tends to self-correct and turn out driving in a striaght line, is well mannered in 2wd / snow so long as I'm gentle on the gas (this is how you should drive int he snow anyway).
In the front, you will get mixed reports. Most people talking about any traction control in front are talking about Aussies. Some will say that it is a death wish, others that you need to know how to drive it.
In my experience, you need to know how to drive it. My LSD isn't ideal for the snow. It is only with practice that I learned how to drive it in the slick stuff. A consideration might be that the back end sliding is much better than the front end sliding - think about that one. There are many snow drivers on the site that swear by a front auto-locker, though, and an auto locker is going to be WORSE than an LSD in slick conditions.
I hope this helps, cause I know for sure that many folks aren't.
