Wait, why would bits of ice make it extra slippery if it's the water that makes ice slippery?

Maybe the ice molecules move through the water with less resistance, since the ice molecules are already 'tied up' in a lattice structure and therefore do not form as strong of hydrogen bonds with the neighboring water molecules.
