Default Playin in the snow... messed something up.. Help!

I was doin cookies.. (around the center diff.) and after I stopped the cookie, i smelled something.. couldn't tell what it was.. maybe like brake fluid burning or something crazy... But i have no power steering. I did have a bad CV joint and when i turn now it doesn't do the clank clank clank thing... (at least as bad...) there is greece on the around the front of the CV boot... couldn't see though.. it was at night... What happens when you break your cv joint... it's still connected in there.. couldn't tell much from there.. Any suggestions? What could it be?
