I have noticed Active Track is unreliable and has problems if the object or it's surrounding is very bright/dark which in this case snow or in my case my brightness was well too bright and it lost me.  It however did not engage but it did stop and hover in my case.  Also another thing to keep in mind again with very bright surfaces, water, etc it can easily disorientate it's APAS.  and I have seen countless videos where people flying over water caused similar problems.  Point is should it of hovered?  Yes.  However I feel the other factors which stated in the manual can cause sporadic behavior like you have seen.

No hard feelings hopefully you learned something, but you really should check your safety and disclaimers manual page 12 only calibrate when prompted.

I don’t intend to be personal, but I can be pragmatic, and as long as you buy one back , first round will be on me. (;+)

The safety manual was created in Aug 17

DJI in Feb 2018 decided to change this information in the revised manual...

You would be best to stay current with the information from DJI. (in the v2 manual) - The time and effort to re-write this section was for a purpose... probably based on incidents to cover their backs.

First rounds on me.

Ok I accept, first safety manual 9/16 updated 8/17 but I keep reading crash stories. First line reads I calibrated my compass then I crashed or I had a flyaway.

Question - if you lose activetrack, what would you expect the behaviour of the drone to be?

a) hover

Mine hovers and then I try to navigate it to try and get a lock on the subject again but the remote is always in my hand and the MP is always in line of sight and ready to push the PAUSE button at moment notice.

As Jeff mentioned in # 32 any other options is dangerous and reckless!
