How to get down steep narrow paths

Hello
My problem is how to get downhill through narrow steep paths where traversing or stem is difficult & prohibitive. Thank you

Pick another route or go off piste???

Sometimes its impossible. I think that the old fashion parallel short turns are the only way

I tend to do lots of short pole turns if the terrain permits in a tight situation.

What is a pole turn?

Turns using your poles to get round quicker. Pole planting, if you are being pedantic. No good in deep snow though!

Ah, thanks, with you now. I expect that Warren Smith would have a posh name for those turns

It wasnt difficult to explain. Why did you ask?
