Learn the step turn so you don’t have to slow down just to turn a corner. This requires balance on one ski; get good at this and your whole skiing experience will be raised several notches. Start by doing star turns in place, keeping the tails of your ski on the snow: nail the tails. Now go down a gentle hill to do your star turn while moving and nailing the tails. Keep your heel down and just lift the tip of the ski. Take many little tiny steps and keep your body low [...]. Stay centered over your skis (as always), and edge the outside ski as needed.
