If that's not what you experienced, it could be knockback, where the rotor pushes the pistons back into the caliper. Your initial pedal travel is then spent extracting the pistons to make contact with pad/rotor again. I think this is what you may have experienced based on your description.
I have not had Ice mode once on my '18 SS 1LE. The key is in how you apply the bakes. If you have very grabby pads and you tent to jump on the brake pedal, (instead of applying the 20/80 rule and letting the weight transfer forward) your chances of getting ice mode increase.
And of course loose surfaces can also trigger ice mode too.

The pedal was hard the entire time, just felt like the ABS wasnt letting the pads grab.
