In a front wheel drive card I sometimes accelerate to pull the back-end back behind. All-wheel-drive is similar, you can give a bit of gas to let the tires claw towards the direction you want.
I'm switching from an AWD sedan to a pickup truck soon. I'm a bit worried I won't have these maneuvers to help out if I slide in a truck.
Every year where I’m from the first time it snows you see all kinds of people off the side of the road, usually in a place where the road curves and they tried to take the corner at speed. Guess that’s one way to learn.. driving in the snow is very intuitive: go slower than you normally do, don’t tailgate, and hit the brakes gently way in advance of when you need to stop.
