Tracks that have been walked through once look different than tracks that have been walked through twice, even backwards.
While you're busy wandering around laying tracks around some hub, your pursuer is busy catching up to you.
If you lay a lot of tracks and loop a bunch of times, your pursuer merely needs to circle around the hub in a radius larger than your loops. The track that crosses that circle once is the right one. And I guarantee I can make that circle faster than you can lay the false tracks.
The solution is this: move fast, move straight. Find a car, get into it, and drive like hell. Hitch-hike, beg, borrow, buy, steal. Get wheels and move. Get out of "Dodge" just as fast as you can. A stern-chase on foot in snow is not a favorable environment for the guy in the lead.
