That whole understeer/oversteer thing applies to winter conditions, too.
When a FWD loses traction on ice it basically goes straight into the surrounding geography.
When a RWD loses traction on ice you still have a chance to steer, using the gas pedal.
It is of course highly recommended to practice this before getting into that kind of pickle on public icy roads.
Personally I take every opportunity I get to practice RWD ice skating skills, and try hard to avoid having to use them when there's oncoming traffic.
Saved my life, or at least my car, several times in the past though.
