Poles help a lot - you see far fewer issues like this with skiers from what i can see and it’s mostly about the poles.
Might be worth looking at some spikes, you can get ones that strap over your boots. Obviously going to be tricky to get quickly in your case.
One bit my mother and she is the “dog whisperer”!

Sharing this for Mrs P in case it’s of interest to anyone.

I’m trying my hardest not to cave in and rehome her myself !
Fb post -
My mum is having to make the really hard (but sensible) decision to re-home her beautiful bulldog Geisha. Unfortunately due to sibling rivalry Geisha and Lulu just aren’t getting on.
Geisha is a 2 year old soft, soppy gorgeous Bulldog who is looking for her loving home and we won’t let her go to just anyone so loving homes and big hearts only need apply.
Geisha would be better being the only dog so she can get the fuss, attention and love she deserves and demands 
She is absolutely amazing with kids and human peoples and gives the absolute best cuddles.
If anyone has a bulldog size hole in their home for this gorgeous girl please get in touch. We are not selling her but re-homing her to the right home.
The only reason we are not rehoming her ourselves is because my mum used to provide doggy daycare whilst we were at work but being 90 years old we wouldn’t want to put a big lump of bulldog on her and her dog Poppy! So unfortunately Geisha would have too much time home alone whilst we are both at work and neither of us feel that would be fair on her. Also Mrs P says it’s far too soon after only losing Ruby 2 weeks ago 
Oh fuck, I’ve just realised we’ve now got 4 Springers by stealth!
Apparently it’s okay, because Mouse is going to be an MRT search dog.
In a couple of years 
Wouldn’t change it for the world though
Excellent.
2 Springers are a handful, 4 will be epic
Three’s an adventure every time we go out, especially with one on a longline because he’s got zero recall (he’s got recall, but gives us a look over his shoulder that says “I’m fucking off now, can you keep up?”, just as he zeroes-in to the local duck pond) and is very reactive to other dogs, due to being rolled and pinned to the floor by a border collie on his first and second walks at three months old.
We’ll be taking Mouse out separately for a while…

I can understand the doggos waiting where they are told but the moggie?
Napoleon the moggie loves the dogs and loves to hang with the pack.

Enjoying the afternoon sun
