Christies are skiing turns executed by shifting weight and angling the skis parallel while edging into the slope.
The term comes from Christiania, the former name of Oslo, Norway, where the technique originated.
A stem christie begins with skis in a V-shape before bringing them parallel.
The move allows controlled speed reduction while maintaining momentum through the turn.
