How is the turn done?
[edit]Doesn't explain the difference between stopping and turning.
"Snowplough" vs "snowplow"
[edit]@Cornellier: Is the Canadian spelling for this term, "snowplough" or "snowplow?" My thinking is that the spelling should reflect North American usage, since the bulk of English-speaking skiers are in NA. The official ski instructors' term is "wedge turn."[1] Perhaps that should be the name of the article with redirects from ""snowplough" and "snowplow." User:HopsonRoad 23:30, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
