	Nordic Ski Manual: Ski Techniques - Advanced XCD
		A good snowplough turn is required as a standby to rescue the accelerating skier (as invariably happens when a long-radius telemark is performed smoothly) who is in danger of running out of control.
		In long-radii turns, if the centre of the skier's mass is as close to the mid-point of the skis, pressure on one ski over another is far less important, and depends more on the physique of the skier (big, strong thighs allow the skier to sit more on the rear ski).
		Short-swing parallel turning, or 'short-swings' as they are known in Alpine circles, are not covered here, They are quite possible on XCD skis, although the lack of a heel locked to the rear of the ski creates a liability when skiing steep and difficult terrain (the best place to practice short-swinging).

	Snowplough turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The snowplough turn (also known as the wedge turn or stem turn) is a development of the stem technique, where the uphill ski is stemmed or pushing out from being parallel with the downhill ski to form a V shape.
		However, when executing a "stem turn" the skier's weight is shifted to the uphill ski and the downhill ski is rotated to become parallel with the uphill ski.
		The snowplough (also known as the wedge or pizza) involves forming a V shape with the skis.

		The snowplough turn (or wedge turn in North America) is the most straightforward of all turns.
		As you turn, the pressure you apply through your feet must move to your outside ski, just as the back seat passengers in a car are pushed against the door in a tight curve.
		Snowplough turns, however, are not a blind alley leading off the road to good parallel turns: they are a valuable step along the way.

		When you’ve done this a couple of times, use the snowplough to turn onto the opposite traverse, and drop into the telemark position after the turn, remember the downhill ski goes forward and the uphill ski back with the heel raised.
		If you could video yourself in slow motion during a turn you would see that as you bring your rear foot forward, and at the point that your feet pass each other, there will be a small pause and both heels will be down on the bindings.
		There are two basic types of turn, for all types of skiing, I call these inefficient or skidding turns, which are useful for getting down steep slopes and loosing speed, and efficient or carving turns for maintaining speed.

		Upon reaching the summit, the skier disembarks from the ski lift and travels downhill, propelled by gravity.
		One should not attempt this unless one has been to ski school or otherwise learned how to turn and stop safely.
		If this is not the case, one's trajectory is likely to become uncontrollable and one's speed excessive, attenuated only by stationary objects such as trees.

	Skiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 19th century, Sondre Norheim invented bindings that enabled the skier to do turns while skiing down hills, this form of skiing was called Slalom by Norheim and his contemporaries.
		Skiing or snowboarding beyond the ski resort's boundaries remains a misdemeanor in some western states, due to the danger of avalanches on the un-patrolled areas; or the cost of search-and-rescue for lost or overdue skiers.
		Skiing technique is difficult to master, and accordingly there are ski schools that teach everything from the basics of turning and stopping safely to more advanced carving, racing and mogul techniques.

	Stem (skiing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The technique involves "stemming" out the uphill ski - pushing it out from being parallel with the downhill ski to form a V shape.

		The snowplough position is also the basis for the first turns that most novice skiers will learn to make: snowplough turns.
		Once you're able to consistently make snowplough turns, linking them with the traverse position, you'll be encouraged by your instructor to start "matching your skis earlier in the turn".
		This type of turn is known as a stem turn, and is achieved by the majority of people before the end of their first week on skis.

	Stem Christie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stem Christie in skiing is a development of the stem technique, where the uphill ski is stemmed or pushed out from being parallel with the downhill ski to form a V shape.
		The turn was named after Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway, where the name Kristianiasving was used for the parallel turn, differentiating it from the Telemark turn.
		The technique was introduced to central Europe in 1910 by the Austrian ski guide Johannes Schneider.

		Linking wedge turns: Once you have learned how to control your speed by turning across the hill, the next step is to link successive turns.
		Instead of continuing a turn until you stop, a new turn is initiated before you lose all the momentum from the current turn.
		When turning you will need to shift your weight to the inside edge of the previous outer ski and turn your body to face downhill again for a moment, before continuing across the slope.

		There seem to be a ton of arguments about what constitutes a stem christie, a wedge christie, snowplough turn, inside and outside foot, etc. I'm especially confused about that wedge/stem distinction, which seems to be a source of argument on skiing newsgroups, but I can't find an answer that seems definitive.
		Instead of initiating a turn by acting on the downhill/inside ski, a turn was initiated by stemming - making a wedge with - the downhill/inside ski and transferring the weight to the uphill/outside ski.
		It is also likely, by the way, that it was the development of this alternative technique to the telemark turn that motivated skiers to affix the back heel to the ski as well as the front.

		Children should be able to snowplough turn confidently from Path 5 (top of Tow Slope) and have had sufficient 'miles under their skis' to be fluid and skilled enough to adopt varying arcs using edge, pressure and rhythm change to achieve this.
		In this class they can continue to work on their confidence and speed and have great fun on the jump while they to grow that little bit to allow them to tackle the post-snowplough techniques.
		At least 10 hours' skiing practice since the Snow Plough Turns class is recommended - each level is considerably more demanding than the preceding one by this stage.

	Skiing Summary
		Skiing technique is difficult to master, and accordingly there are ski schools that teach everything from the basics of turning and stopping safely to more advanced carving, racing, mogul or "bump" skiing and newer freestyle techniques.
		This snow condition is favored by beginners and the majority of recreational skiers, in that it tends to be relatively forgiving, easy to turn upon, and requires less skill to negotiate than powder snow.
		It is considered a form of backcountry skiing or off-piste skiing, as the hazards encountered in a backcountry mountain environment are the same and professionals often guide participants.
