Another car question: Snow tires or 4 wheel drive more important?

Our 2001 auto Forester with 4-season tires does fine in the snow around here. The snow is rarely more than six inches deep, but we do live in serious hills. The Subie has never been stopped, or even done anything dramatic in bad weather.

We are handing this car down to WashDadJr, who is, of course, going to a college where it statistically never snows. Figures, doesn’t it?
