The carved turn provides a foundation for athletic skiing. If you apply correct edge angle and pressure to a ski, the ski itself provides the turning forces you desire. While a variety of skills are important to the athletic skier, the carved turn provides the stability and precision that is evident in all good skiing. 4, record 1, English, - carved%20turn
