I have become quite adept at windy flying here in Corpus Christi. It is always windy here. When the winds are straight down the runway it is actually pretty fun to fly in heavy wind. As for x-winds that is another story. When flying a trainer you are limited on what the plane can handle due to limitiations with control surfaces and the lack of maneuverability. If the winds are strong then landing at an angle on the runway is not a bad idea but to be honest it is a crutch and wil not help you be a better pilot. I spent a great deal of time learning the proper techniques for landing in a cross wind and I used my old trainer as a guinea pig. The method I found that works the best is to let the plane weathervane into the wind and crab almost all the way down final. It will naturally do this and it is easier not to fight it on the long shallow final that Trainers prefer. As you near the runway this is where it gets tricky. You will need to use the rudder to align the nose with the runway. As you feed in the rudder you will need to add opposite aileron to counteract the rolling caused by adding in the rudder. this type of configuration is going to cause one main gear to touch down before the others. This is a proper cross wind landing and is used in full scale flying as well.

Here is a good example. It is a bit extreme but you can see what I was talking about.
