Snow or Ice?

That's the worst idea, so you prefer to back into things instead of hitting it with your front bumper?

If the ABS is freaking out due to packed snow/ice then it is actually a really good idea [to pull the e-brake]. Quickest stop in those conditions is with wheels locked, so provided your are going straight and the speed is low it is highly effective. It has saved my *** from a certain crash more than once, especially in downhill when the rear gets light.

That is if you are going slow enough to not lose control of the backend.

ChrisSlicks

With more drag in the rear than the front the rear rarely steps out unless turning, but yes, this is a 30 mph or slower evasive maneuver not something I would recommend at higher speed.

Perfect pavement and perfect condition, yes. Snow and ice while you are losing control, pulling e-brake should be used as the last resort, not the first move.
