This instructor observes that the universal tendency among pilots new to mountain flying is to over rudder (skid) turns when close to terrain and flying with a tailwind component. That's a dangerous practice that needs to be guarded against. What you are advocating seems to run counter to this.

Right - it will result in severe uncoordinated flight and could result in a spin (not good with rocks near). If you do not have control authority to counter external forces I would think that you are best off going with the flow and figuring out another maneuver that uses these forces. Vital to all of this is having the clearance to do such a maneuver.
