Skiers
who are advanced in Alpine skiing use the parallel turn method while
turning. The skis are placed parallel to each other to allow
distribution of weight. The angle of ski (edge angle) is an important
consideration. It determines the friction generated on the edges so as
to allow turning. Modern skiers use Carving. This is an advanced
technique where the knees are rolled on the sides. The hips and upper
body are placed vertically.
