  Glissade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glissade is the usually voluntary act of descending a steep slope of snow in a controlled manner either for the sheer thrill of the ride and/or to bypass tedious scree.
Glissading is an alternative to plunge stepping and also cuts down on descent time.
The crouching glissade is similar to the standing method except the climber sits back and drags the spike of their ice axe (held in self-arrest grip) in the snow.

 Classic technique
The descent is made by placing one's heels in the snow, ankles and knees bent, center of gravity over the feet and the chest bent slightly forward.The student should place his feet parallel to the slope to slide.
During the glissade it is important to keep one's head facing uphill.
This technique is called "a crouched glissade" Using the basic position for glissading facing downhill, bend over slightly, hold the axe using the technique "crouched" but in this case on one's side so that it can be used as a brake in the snow.

 Cascade Glissade Index (CGI) for Washington Peaks
Glissading to scramblers, hikers and climbers is what powder skiing is to downhill enthusiasts: it means literally sliding downhill on snow or ice, either on your feet (without skis, just boots) as in a standing glissade, or on your butt (hopefully in slippery pants so you can go really fast) in a sitting glissade.
I like to refer to seated glissades as “butt skiing” without a sled, and even people who have never tried it can sort of understand what it is from that two term description.

Greensboro-based Glissade joins more nationally recognized acts like The Comas in bringing an echo-heavy, feedback-driven sonic assault that owes as much to the '80s Manchester rave scene as it does to '60s psych rock noise jams.
It would be interesting to see what Glissade would do with a vocalist; there might be room to explore their Stone Roses-style jams and reach out to a larger audience.
If the word on the street is true, and a full length is in the works, it won't be long before Glissade make their intentions clear to the world.
