Short turns

Skiing / Popular

Make quick, rhythmic turns on steeper and narrower terrain.

What coaches agree on

  • Keep your upper body quiet and facing down the hill while your legs and skis do the turning underneath you.
  • A strong, well-timed pole plant sets your rhythm and helps you snap from one edge to the next.

  • Roll your ankles and knees onto the new edge as you turn. That's where your real grip comes from.
