A student pilot was conducting a landing when the aircraft rounded out too high. The aircraft bounced and became airborne again. The student did not apply power, and the certified flight instructor (CFI) added power to initiate a go-around. However, the CFI later stated that he waited too long before applying power, and the right wing stalled.

The CFI reported that the aircraft's brakes had no effect due to the icy conditions on the diagonal taxiway.
