Only ever done this in an empty parking lot after a few inches of fresh snow

But snow isn't particularly slippery, the only way that works properly is if there's a layer of ice underneath. So you need a warmish day with some rain, followed by a bitter cold night, followed by a dusting of fresh snow to really lose traction in a parking lot.

There was one particular parking lot near my house that was not plowed for years. The snow would fall, melt a little during the day, and then refreeze. Spent many evenings there.

You are missing out then, frozen lakes are so much fun.
