Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Une piste de ski n’a pas qu’une ligne de pente du sommet au bas de la montagne. À chaque accident de terrain, déclivité ou convexité, série de bosses, virage de la piste, etc., le skieur doit choisir entre la descente la plus directe par la ligne de pente, des virages le long de cette ligne pour réduire sa vitesse, ou une descente le long des lignes de pente latérales pour une descente plus en douceur. 5, record 1, French, - ligne%20de%20pente
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme «ligne de pente» se dit de la piste de ski; «ligne de chute» se dit du terrain; «ligne de la plus grande pente» est un terme-définition pour les novices; «sens de la pente» est davantage une définition qu'un terme de ski. 5, record 1, French, - ligne%20de%20pente
