Default what is the best way to drive down an icy steep hill?
I generally downshift and let the car take itself down.

Default Not to do it at all.
If you absolutly must then leave it in first, throw your harards on and <i>feather</i> the brake pedal or the e-brake depending on slip and speed.

Keep it in gear to slow yourself, accelerate a tiny bit if you slip.
