Could someone please explain what a parallel turn is and what a carve turn is. Secondly could someone explain how to go about producing these turns in steps. Finally could someone please highlight the fundamental differences between the two. I've been skiing once before and I thought it was great fun. I went to place called St. Michael in Austria for a week. By the end I could parallel turn and tackle the red runs pretty easily. I'm going again to the same place this Febuary and I want to have a preconcieved idea of what carving is and how to go about it and also to check that i'm doing the right things when parallel turning.
Many thanks Jake |

I was wondering when carving, say you your going down the slope and you want to turn left, do you have your left ski slightly ahead of your right and shift your weight onto your left leg and roll you knees to dig the edges in?
