Default Car does not go uphill when starting from stop


Folks,
This wknd I went camping to the mountains. From my cabin to the main
road there is a 500 ft. long driveway which is relatively steep but
nothing my car could not handle in the past

This time however, when I tried to get the car going up the driveway
it drove a little bit and then the engine just kept reving up but the
car stop going uphill. No matter how much I hit the pedal it did not
move.

Finally I had to drive the car back to a flat surface and get some
motion and only then it was able to scale the steep driveway. The car
is an automatic. Can someone tell me what might be the problem?
