If you come on a winter hike, you should always have a pair of icers in your pack. You won't have to use them very often, but when it's icy on the trail, you'll need them. The icer is held to your boot with straps, and keeps you from slipping and sliding. You can purchase good quality icers at MEC ( KAHTOOLA MICROSPIKES are recommended.)
