A movement done while the skis were unweighted, the counterrotation, or rotation of the shoulder in a direction opposite to that of the feet and legs, is no longer needed to make a turn with the actual very flexible skis, much more responsive to a transfer of weight than were the wooden skis. 3, record 1, English, - counterrotation

contre-rotation : Dans les anciennes techniques de virages, première phase au cours de laquelle le skieur tourne le haut du tronc dans la direction opposée à l'orientation de ses skis alors en rotation vers l'amont au terme d'un virage; cette phase d'appel était accompagnée d'un transfert de poids du ski aval au ski amont (qui devient ski aval), puis d'un chassé de talon aidé d'un «chassé» de hanche». 1, record 1, French, - contre%2Drotation

contre-virage : Réorientation soudaine des skis, sur la neige ou dans les airs, par un rapide transfert de poids qui les fait virer en direction opposée. 1, record 1, French, - contre%2Drotation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Tant que les skis n'ont été faits que de bois, les techniques de virage ont dû tenir compte de leur manque de souplesse à répondre rapidement aux transferts de poids ou de pression exercés par le skieur. La contre-rotation faisait partie de toute la préparation ou «appel» en vue d'un virage. 1, record 1, French, - contre%2Drotation
