How beginning snowboarders deal with steep slopes. This is done by staying on your heelside edge and sliding left and right, being careful not to pick up any speed.
The hip fashion-boarders called me a pussy for doing the falling leaf under the chairlift on a blue square.

A way beginning and/or young snowboarders handle a steep slope. It is similar to the falling leaf but is considerably faster. You do this by staying on your heelside edge going left and right while quickly alternating which end of the board faces downhill.

(teenage snowboarder): wtf, I got beat by an 8 year old?
(spectator): ya, he was doing the katana
(teenage snowboarder): oh damn, what a pro
