Speaking from experience unfortunately, do not waste your time trying to session benchs like the ones you described.

No slide at all.

total waste of time.  and you will take a few diggers.  i will promise you that.  there made of aluminum and that is a hell of a lot softer than your steel edges on your skis.  so your basicly sinking your edges into it. UNLESS you have no edges left on your skis like mine. then you might be able to slide them somewhat.
