With practice, over a period of time, skill at con-
trolled sliding can be developed. The terrain
should be chosen carefully before attempting
such maneuvers, since both stability and control
are reduced. Bear in mind that sliding maneu-
vers should always be avoided on extremely
slippery surfaces such as ice, since all control
may be lost.
