More ways of achievement control on a FWD when the front wheel skid?

I drive a 99' Toyota Camry, which is FWD. I also live in a region where snow and rime are as common as smog is in L.A.. I lose control of the front wheel alot more often than the back wheel, which I find easier to control when they skid. Is there another way to gain control fairly than letting off the gas and waiting for the front tires to regain control?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Four dedicated winter tires are the way to travel in the winter time. The new age group Blizzaks outperform studded winter tires. Under steer may seem annoying but is safer and easier to control, simply backing stale corrects under steer, if you back sour when you overseer it snaps out the back even worse.
I agree with Louis G on this one. Use the emergency brake technique - some extra bulk in the back of the coup¨¦ might help too, a couple of bags of sand or something.

steer where you need to dance and hit the gas.. spin yourself out of it. as long as you have good winters this will work.

Answers:    Understeer is one of the achillies heels of a FWD car, especially contained by slippery conditions. There is one way of rotating the back fall around if you start to understeer... that's by pulling the e-brake and locking up the back wheels. It's for a while dangerous unless you know what you are doing. I would reccomend practicing the maneuver in a parking lot. past actually trying it to help you restore your health from an understeer situation on public roads.
