In the context of moving over ice, yes.

 

[emsr2d2]

Depending on context, even on ice, they might not be interchangeable. Someone could slide on their front, their back, in control, out of control, arms and legs all over the place, as a result of purposeful action or of an accident.
Gliding carries a sense of elegance and poise, and suggests that the person is probably in control and on their feet.

You shouldn't ask this. No two words are 'interchangeable'. Focus on the meaning and use of each word.

Oxford Learner's Dictionary:
interchangeable
that can be exchanged, especially without affecting the way in which something works
The two words are virtually interchangeable (= have almost the same meaning).
