- Parallel Turn
- A turn made on corresponding ski edges with simultaneous edge release
- increased
- A wide width wedge stance will normally result in this
- Pressure control
- The action of actively adjusting the pressure between the skiis and the snow
- Simultaneous leg rotation
- The legs move in the same direction, more or less at the same time
- Angulation
- A movement in a diagonal and lateral plane in a flexing or extending fashion
- Skidding
- A combination of sliding and slipping as the ski moves forward through a turn
- Sidecut
- The Hour-glass shape of the ski that, in part, helps describe turn radius
- Sequential Leg Rotation
- The action of turning one leg while using the other as the supporting or stabilizing base
- Gliding wedge
- Moving with the skiis in a position convergent to one another providing an efficient base frome which the skier can begin
- Edging Movements
- Movements that increase or decrease edge
- Carving
- A turning of the skis with little or no lateral slippage and the tails following the path of the tips
- Sliding
- The movement of the skis gliding in the directio they are pointed
- Balancing
- The action of maintaining equilibrium
- Traverse
- Skis skidding across the fall line
- Stemming
- The displacement of one ski to a position convergent with the other ski
- Practice
- Repeated trials to learn to ski
- Feedback
- The impressions, feelings, or concepts that a student receives from learning
- skill
- The level of proficiency in a specific task
