skiing techniques

Downhill movement skills

Skiing techniques are the methods used to control speed, direction, and balance on skis.

Basic techniques include the snowplow (angling skis inward to slow down), parallel turns, and carving.

More advanced techniques—mogul skiing, powder skiing, racing tucks—adapt to specific terrain or competitive demands.
