Default Stuck!

First time my ride see the snow and i got stuck... it wasn't even snowing! It was just a small hill. I tried: non snow mode, snow mode, traction on, traction off... Still couldn't make it up that little hill. My tires are almost new but they're all season. Any idea why? Never had this problem with any of my previous sedan..

Cause there all seasons. Do you have awd or rwd?
Put the car in snow mode but try to get more speed before going up the hill. This should be enough to get up the hill.
