On large super slick surfaces ABS doesn’t really work. It might pulse for a second or so but eventually all the wheels stop moving and the system thinks you stopped even though you’re very much still sliding.
ABS is usually fairly loud and you can feel it pulse the pedal. If you’re on ice and that stops happening, then chances are you locked up all the tires and you should let up and reapply. Repeat as necessary until you actually stop.
ABS usually works okay in winter because your car isn’t entirely on a sheet of ice and there is some variance in the road surface beneath all the tires with differing friction levels.
