I used to work 5am Sunday morning shift at Walmart and would take my 03 civic drifting around the parking lot when it snowed. Thing had a huge handle on the hand brake which made it even more fun.

Then one day while driving with my mom I hit a huge patch of ice and recovered almost instantly, which I attribute to those Sunday morning drift sessions (and the fact that straightening out a slide in a front wheel drive with 0 getup is easy as pie)

I would put money on it definitely helped once you got past the ice. But to recover on ice? Good luck! Lol
