Funny thing about the slip though, all old time pilots know "what"
slipping is, as well as experienced drivers, but in skiing, it seems
few skiers know exactly what it is. And the gappers on this board
insisted that I was "wrong" when I told them the difference between
"skidding" and "slipping," and laughed themselves silly. What do you
think?

That's easy. A slip is sliding to the inside of a turn and skid is to the
outside.

So there are "skidding" and "slipping," and they are different? Thanks
for the confirmation, my good man.

A skidded turn on skis happens when you hit some ice or hardpack for eg.
They are hard to control compared to a slipped turn as in side-slipping or
turning into the hill.
