After you explore Snowpoint City, you proceed to challenge the trainers at Snowpoint Gym.

Slide on the Ice

Whenever you step on the ice floors in the Snowpoint Gym, you will slide in a straight line until you hit an obstacle or snow on the floor. There are snowballs blocking the paths in the gym, and you can only break them by sliding into them at high speed. You can slide down slopes to increase your speed.
