Editing Parallel turn (section)

==External links==
* An excellent film of the classic parallel technique can be found in {{YouTube|gwJ7fuA3fsM|"Classic Short Radius Turns"}}. Note that the skier's upper body remains pointed down the fall line, and their body moves only a small amount from side to side. Turns are initiated at the tip, and skidding progressively develops&mdash;note the amount of snow being thrown off the back of the ski as the turn develops. The skis can be seen to bend into arcs, but these are relatively modest. This is a very different technique from the modern carving turn, where the skis and skier move through smooth arcs.
