snowplow stop
Ski speed control
A snowplow stop is a basic braking technique in skiing and ice skating where you angle both feet inward, forming a wedge shape that creates friction against the surface.
The name comes from the resemblance to a snowplow blade.
It's typically the first stopping method beginners learn: She executed a snowplow stop at the bottom of the bunny slope.
