Terminology
- Uphill Ski refers to the ski that is in a position higher up the hill.
- Downhill ski refers to the ski that is in a position farther down the hill.
- Outside ski is the ski farthest away from the centre of the circle the skier is turning about.
- Inside ski is the ski closest to the centre of the circle the skier is turning about.
At the completion of a turn, the downhill ski is the outside ski, and the uphill ski is the inside ski. When a new turn is initiated, the old inside ski becomes the new outside ski.
Once mastered the skier can move on to the somewhat more advanced turn, the Stem Christie.
