Driving in the snow with my Yaris 2014 LE

That's one of the bad things about front wheel drive. They're not too good at driving up a steep hill in slippery conditions. There's so much weight transfer to the rear going up a hill, that there's little weight on those front tires. If it's safe, (not a busy road), try driving in reverse up the hill, which has an opposite effect, putting much more weight on those drive wheels. I did this many years ago in my little 84 Dodge Colt, and it's surprising how well that works, especially if you have traction tires or devices.
