If you CAN get there in 4-Hi, use it. That way if you get stuck, you've got 4-Lo and other options to get yourself out of it.
From what I've learned:
on major inclines (up and down) use 4-Lo, 1st gear. The truck will moderate speed for you pretty well. (this takes a LOT of getting used to...I tend to want to ride the brakes on the way down, but if you trust your H2, it'll get the job done.)
Engaging your e-locker will cause both rear tires to spin together. This will work in really soft/deep sand, and give you the extra pull you need uphill in many cases.
Hope this helps, I'm sure the "boys" will pile on!

P.S. Have fun in the snow...I'll be jealous!
