Skiing Techniques

Skiing techniques focus on stability and control on snow-covered slopes. Key methods include the "snowplow," where skiers create a wedge shape with their skis for braking. The "parallel turn" involves keeping skis side-by-side, enabling smoother turns and speed control. "Carving" emphasizes using the edges of the skis to make precise, curved turns. Balance is crucial; skiers lean slightly forward to maintain center of gravity and avoid falls. Mastery of these techniques allows skiers to navigate varying terrains and conditions, enhancing both safety and enjoyment on the slopes.
