We will look at the short parallel turn and how it is performed. The short parallel turn will normally be something you start to master after learning long parallel skiing. This video shows you the basic short parallel turn for intermediate to advanced skiers To make a short parallel turn you will need to be more active on your skis. The short turn starts with an up-forward movement from the ankles. This allows the skis to realise and for you to start to turn the skis, you will turn the skis by adding pressure to the new downhill ski while also steering the feet. Using a well-timed pole plant will aid with the timing of the turn and the rhythm. You will see in the video the upper body is calm and stays orientated down the hill in the direction of travel. As soon as one turn is finished the next will start. With a short parallel turn, you try to eliminate sliding as the skis move across the fall line, the more advanced you become the less slide and more edge grip you will build up.
