Struggling to figure out what they call a certain type of skiing. My skiing turns typically consists of a mix between stem, parallel, and skidded. But I have always been amazed at folks that take a near straight downhill line with a clear turn movement but with minimal side to side movement. In essence they are turning but the side to side distance they move might be within a foot of distance outside their boots.
I certainly wish that I could ski like that but have no idea what it is even called and the mechanics that allow that calm, controlled movement.
It doesn’t seem that it is aggressive enough to be a carved turn but I do not know.
Thanks.
