Parallel short turns
When applying this technique you perform rapid rhythmic turns on edges close to
the fall line. At the end of a turn use the centrifugal force to raise the posture
slightly and lean hips and knees inside the opposite arc shape your skis are starting
to make and switch edges at the same time. Continue through the turn and start the
opposite turn after passing the fall line. Your skis should be hip width apart.
Parallel short turns:
Skis
Giant
Skis designed for high speed smooth turns with radius length between
16-23m. Nominal values are possible to obtain on well prepared, hard
and steep surface. Stable performance is guaranteed due to hard ski structure. In comparison
with a slalom ski, giant one is less side-cut,...

Slalom
Skis designed for short radius and sudden turns at lower speeds on well prepared
and hard surface. Short radius of turns (between 9-15m) is achieved thanks to deep
side-cut. Aggressive attacking slalom poles is possible due to...

Freeride
Skis dedicated for off-piste. Designers want to decrease the ski pressure on the
surface to prevent from sinking in powder. This aim is obtained thanks to increased
length and width. Also deep side-cut is...
