Skiing technique involves the proper use of body position, balance, and movement to navigate snow-covered slopes effectively. Key elements include maintaining a slight forward lean, bending the knees, and keeping the weight centered over the skis. This helps skiers control their speed and direction while reducing the risk of falls. Turning is a fundamental aspect of skiing, achieved through carving and edging. Carving involves using the ski's edges to create smooth, curved paths, while edging allows skiers to shift their weight to initiate turns. Mastering these techniques enhances overall performance and enjoyment on the slopes, whether on groomed trails or in off-piste terrain.
