Second gear on ice, and everything gets easier
Pulling away
Second gear, very light throttle. If the car has a winter mode, it does exactly this and is worth finding before you need it.
Braking
Earlier and lighter, in a straight line. Anti-lock braking does not shorten stopping distance on ice; it only preserves steering.
Steering
Look where you want to go rather than at what you are trying to avoid. Hands follow eyes involuntarily and it works better than it sounds.
