Expert Reply:

When towing a heavy trailer load on icy roads you want to use very low power and no boost on your Prodigy P2 brake controller # 90885. Since trailer brakes do not have the anti-lock function found on vehicles you want to be careful to avoid any chance for the brakes locking up and causing your trailer to skid.

The reduced braking force will be offset by the fact that you will be driving at a reduced speed when on such icy roads.
