Another completely different thing you can do is to use a scrapy hardpack day to work on your balance. Find a flat icy area on an easy trail and glide across it slowly while edging as LITTLE as possible, I.e. keeping your skis perfectly flat. By doing that on a flat part of the hill, you’ll reduce the terror that comes with sliding on ice, and you’ll train your body to stay in a good position through balance. Gradually improving your balance in this way will have amazing benefits for all parts of your skiing and especially when you hit icy patches.

I live in New England and we would call that packed powder, certainly not ice. Good try.

Yes my man tell him about when you come over a roller at top speed and you run into complete blue ice

He can stand up his ski poles on that surface. Hardpack; not real ice.

Too negative. My observation was not meant to trash a well-done flick on how to better handle very hard surfaces; hardpack or ice.

Great tips thanks! There's one more fundamental one to add perhaps: control your speed! Any extra speed will amplify the effect of the ice and reduce breaking ability and therefore safety of others?

when you hit ice go straight and don't start your turn until you get to a better spot on the other side. Give yourself more room between other skiers and boarders too.

I recently improved my carving. What an amazing feeling to cut into the crude ice

Great tips! This is why I ski a long pair of '05 Atomic M2Tron (Metron) EX. They do not care if it's icy.

The older I get, the more afraid I am of ice skiing and the worse I get😄. Next holidays I'll recover my confidence!! Thank you for tips

Big clumps of soft snow here are ice chunks!

I wish our ice looked like that. That's our conditions for the 1st hour or 2 then it's all skied off and actually a solid sheet of ice below. I've found the more I edge the ski the worse it gets. To much edge force and you're down and taking an uncontrolled ride to the bottom, hoping not to hit something or someone along the way. I've witnessed lots of skiers slide over 500 yards trying to stop. To me that's groomed granular, not ice.

Better advice would be ski straight through ice patches and aim for snow patches to turn and break your speed. Unless your skis just got sharpened, don’t turn on ice, actual ice! ..or put on ice skates!
