What you said is "If you whale on the brake pedal hard enough even with ABS, the car will still skid." That isn't true. If you're going straight and level in the snow and stomp on the brakes, ABS will not initiate a slide. The purpose of ABS is to prevent wheel lock from braking forces. But it doesn't prevent a slide from lateral forces. If you oversteer and create enough rotation about the yaw axis to break traction, ABS can't help you. Likewise, if you simply take a corner too fast, you'll slide off in an understeer.
And stability control is not anti-roll.
