Heres what works for me. As soon as you stop moving forward and start to dig in , STOP. Get off the bike and using very little throttle try to ease the bike back up on top of the snow without spinning the tires. Even better if a buddy or two can help push the bike. This will usually get you back under way much quicker than breaking out the winch.
If the snow is only 18 inches or so you can try rocking the bike and shifting your weight to get enough traction to move.
When we get off our bikes and end up chest deep in powder and can't walk the bike back on top, the only option is the winch. Again don't spin the tires.
