The first trick is to apply tension to the muscles of the right leg. The result will be a rotation of the body to the left.
 The second trick is to slightly bend the foot of the same leg you put in tesion. It is said in this case that's "take a little 'of the ski edge." For example, we can tighten the muscles of the left leg and raise the edge to the left ski, ottienendo the right-hander.
 Third and last expedient will be to loosen the tension of the opposite leg as possible. So altogether to turn right will proceed: - to tension the muscles of his left leg - to take the edge of the left ski - loosen the tension on the right leg
The result of this movement will be a snowplow turn almost without noticing have done it.
