is to ski at any angle across the fall line, running across the slope of the hill rather than straight down it, while either ascending or descending.

(oblique par rapport à la ligne de plus grande pente) (...) est une position de descente.

CONT

(...) la montée en trace directe en traversée, (qui) est une marche normale (...) utilisant une trace d'autant moins inclinée que la neige est plus glissante et le skieur moins musclé des bras. Cette méthode-là est la seule qui puisse s'utiliser longuement lorsque le terrain et la neige le permettent.
