rear of the board on the uphill edge, by twisting the board. It is much
safer than trying to push the rear of the board into the turn like many
self-trained boarders do.



sorry
you start a right hand turn at 30 mph and in the middle of the turn your
going to slip to the inside?
show me

You can't. But as a previous poster pointed out, you can slip the fronts
of the skis downhill to the right while doing a left hand traverse and
initiate a "windshield-wiper" turn. In this case a slip does occur in the
direction of the turn, but technically, when the slip is performed, the
centre of mass is to the left and not being deflected in a right hand
turn. Just some parts of the skiers anatomy ie the skis are slipping
right. Then, the actual initiation of the turn is made with a com shift
to the right. You are slipping right, but not yet turning actually.

My point being you declare an absolute and the first example it fails like
everything cheese dip claims to be true.
Slipping is letting the ski's slide 90 degrees to the normal path of
travel
Sliding in increasing the radius of your turn because you have NOT grip.

Not sure what you are saying here, but this sounds like a skidded turn, as
if you hit an icy patch and the turn went wider than you intended it to.

EG In an airplane in a left hand turn, if you apply more left rudder or yaw
than is necessary the turn will SKID, like a rear-wheel drive car doing a
fishtail on ice. The ass-end will go wide to the right. If you apply less
left rudder or even right rudder, the airplane's tail will SLIP or yaw to
the inside of the turn.



you can not count a person standing upright on skis going slow that is hot
dogging his skis as doing something like a real turn at speed
any of these suggestions do not work at speed please try to prove me wrong
preferably not in go slow zones.
