What are the parallel skiing skills?

Knocking on the snow: knocking on the snow with the edge will increase the resistance of the snow and reduce the speed. When there is no snow, the resistance on both sides of the snowboard is similar, so it will slide in a straight line. When you are snowing, the resistance on the other side will be greater than that on the snowing side, and then you will naturally turn to the snowing side, thus turning.

Plough swing turning technology: from right to left, the right leg bears the load. When it is necessary to turn right, the back of the snowboard is pushed out in a plow sliding posture, and at the same time, the outward thrust of the left snowboard is increased, so that the body rotates to the right and the center of gravity gradually shifts from the right leg to the left leg. When sliding parallel to and beyond the rolling line instantly, the left leg bears the weight, the left leg snowboard becomes the driving board, and the right leg snowboard floats on the snow surface.

Matters needing attention

Parallel turning requires the double plates to keep parallel at any time. Plough turns require knee strength to keep the skis open, but parallel turns require both legs and feet to work together. When you want to turn left, you need to push your right foot, keep your center of gravity in the direction you want to turn, and keep your left foot relaxed and parallel. On the contrary, when turning to the right, your left foot and right foot should keep up. Mastering the parallel turn will make the stay handy and realize the turn-stop.

When turning in parallel, practice in both directions: no matter what kind of turn, turning left is easier than turning right, or turning right is easier than turning left. Because everyone has a different dominant foot in life, this is a normal phenomenon. Don't worry, just practice more.
