Is there something else happening in these videos that I am missing? It looks like these guys don't steer into it far or hard enough. What am I missing? Sincere question. Thanks!

I actually think its more a case of people getting these cars that never learned the art of car control. Learning in the snow is a great way to start to learn the art. One thing that shows me that they never learned is the fact the many of them get on it incorrectly to begin with and set themselves up for failure from the start.
