Hoo boy! I don't know how anybody can possibly learn this by themselves, because the first time you dive into a turn 20 mph faster than before, it is one scary sumbitch. A good instructor--somebody who knows AWD cars--is essential. It might be worth it to go off to a pro school just to learn this.
I know this is a winter mod thread, but i think seat time should be considered a winter mod. I learned by riding with a few instructors. At first it scared the living CRAP out of me, you think "oh no, he's not hitting the brakes yet," and then at the last second, its HARD braking and a quick turn and that’s it. Seat time will be the best mod to make you faster, especially for your first few years.
