Crashing after hitting black ice on a hill is a skill issue. Its like skiing, or ice skating, you still have control even though the handling is very different.
Only if you have studded winter tires that are in good condition. Throw in a sprinkling of powder and there's nothing even a professional WRC driver could do.
Another personal favorite is driving on ice with a tiny layer of sun melted water so you can also hydroplane.
It's not really though, unless you're willing to just lie and redefine "unwilling to move at absurdly slow speed for conditions so the pavement can be meticulously inspected" as a skill issue and even then you won't always be able to spot it.

I've hydroplaned on the motorway many times. It is a big scary but as long as you don't touch the brakes and continue straight you are ok.
I've driven FWD cars in heavy snow and it isn't that bad. You just have to go half the speed you normally would.

It depends on the hill. Sometimes you should just avoid the hill.
Winter tires also go a long way.
