22. Armwork and the correct use of the sticks
Frequently a turn has to be carried out very abruptly, and at slow speed. On such occasions the ski-stick is of tremendous assistance. By taking some of your weight on the stick. on the side to which you are turning, at the moment the weight is transferred to the outer ski, you will find that the turn is much easier to execute. I lie stick should be advanced by bending the elbow-outward, and not downwards.
