I've never used cables, but I've heard they are often used by cars with little clearance between the tire and the wheel well. In anycase, I'd suggest a good set of chains and one of those stretchy rubber-band like things that pull your chains taut. Oh, and make sure you practice a couple of times in good weather to get a feel for the installation process. Nothing sucks more than putting your chains on for the first time on the highway when its dark and snowy.

Chains give much better traction, but more expensive and harder to put on.
Cables are not as good traction, but cheaper and easier to put on.
Get chains. It's already scary as fsck driving when its snowing, road is icy, and its dark.
Driving a civic for snowboarding? Can you even fit snowboards in there? I will also pray for you, I woudln't want to drive a dinky little car in those conditions.

only sissies need traction assistance devices such as those. Real men can get around on el-cheapo radials year round.

TESTIFY MY BROTHA.
I'm from Canada, the land of frozen streets and dogsleds - and I have never used chains ONCE. Get your whussy ass some good snows and ease off the gas.

They don't let you up the mountain if the roads are icy and you don't have chains/cables on.
