10. "Snow-plough" turns

Learning to "snow-plough" will teach you the correct position of skis and body required for executing turns to the right and to the left. Transference of weight from one ski to another, combined with body torsion, will enable you to change direction at will. Ever)1 movement must be carried out rhythmically, and your skis should retain the full "snow-plough" position while the turn is being carried out. Make a note of ever) movement and twist of the body — use of the hips, etc., — from the first picture, and throughout the series illustrating the three "snow-plough" turns.

Ski straight down hill, with your skis in the lull "snow-plough" position, Place the weight on the left ski. at the same time thrusting the left hip forward. You will find that you are turn­ing to the right. Transfer the weight to the right ski. thrust the right hip forward, and you will turn to the left. Continue to ski  downhill,  turning  alternately  to  left and  right.
