I had mine freeze shut also. It was raining lightly before we took off and
I then went to over 20K in our wave. I was at altitude for quite a long time
and discovered while descending that the spoilers on my Jantar 2A were
completely frozen shut. I tried everything I could to get them open without
success. In the manual it states that the 2A is not approved for slipping.
Our runway is 3000ft long at 600ft msl. Fortunately we usually have quite
a bit of wind here so that helps shorten the landing. I modified my pattern
and had no problems getting it stopped well before the end of the pavement
with the wheel brake.

And, your runway slopes uphill - a huge help.
