Have to admit, I glissaded this slope twice, completely wrong. Once astride my '64 Kelty, using the trailing frame members as a brake. In perfect conditions of course, heavy, wet August (1967) slush. Once with a day pack on a disposable poncho. Again perfect conditions, before noon on the summer solstice (1994). Both slides were so slow I was paddling most of the way until stopped by the build-up of slush in front of me about 300 feet from the terminal moraine. Lucky, I guess. Never again w/o proper technique and same conditions. DO not try this at home. Your mileage absolutely will vary.
