Don't forget about using the Hill Descent Control. Let the Rover do the work.

One more thought if that happens again...gently downshift so that engine braking can help slow you down. (Move shift lever left and back on 2013 & older or - paddle shifter on 2014 & newer)
Also worth engaging the low ration gears for steep hills in snow. Last winter I managed to fully control my LR3 on an extreme hill on black ice using HDC and low 1st manual. Slow but sure is always the best policy in such conditions, especially with a vehicle of this weight.
Something I've noticed over the years is that SUV's are the most frequent casualties of bad weather, mainly because so many drivers seem to believe they can defy physics.
OP has quit driving.
I don't ever even use HDC, other than when I first got the truck and was playing around... it sadly isn't in my normal driving mix. So, I guess I also have to get used to that feature to be be able to pull it out in a pinch.
