Ligety's Turn

Ligety's Turn is a skiing technique used in slalom and giant slalom races, emphasizing precise control and smooth turning. It involves shifting weight onto the inside edge of the ski, positioning the body to guide the skis along a curved path. The skier engages their legs and hips to initiate the turn, leaning slightly into the slope while maintaining balance. This method allows for quick, controlled directional changes while maintaining speed. Overall, Ligety's Turn combines technical precision and fluidity, enabling skiers to navigate gates efficiently and with finesse.
