=== Snowplough turn=== {{main|Snowplough turn}} The snowplough turn is the simplest form of turning and is usually learned by beginners. To perform the snowplough turn one must be in the snowplough position while going down the ski slope. While doing this they apply more pressure to the inside of the opposite foot of which the direction they would like to turn. This type of turn allows the skier to keep a controlled speed and introduces the idea of turning across the fall line. <ref name = gamma>{{Cite book |title=The handbook of skiing |first=Karl |last=Gamma |date=1992 |publisher=Knopf |isbn=9780679743163 |edition=Rev. and updated |location=New York |oclc=25632229 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/handbookofskiing00karl_0}}</ref>
