Skifahren
Ob sich ein Ski leicht ***aufkanten*** lässt, sollte man zunächst im niedrigen Geschwindigkeitsbereich erfahren. Es gibt aber auch Ski, die erst durch höhere Geschwindigkeit und mehr Druck ihre Vorzüge beim ***Aufkanten*** entfalten. Diese Ski brauchen in der Regel einen größeren Kraftaufwand.

If you can't make turns, you should "side-slip" down the slope, controlling your rate of descent by changing the edge angle of your downhill ski, using your knee. Tilting the ski will slow you down, flattening it will speed you up. And try to learn "directional side-slipping", where you slide diagonally forwards (by leaning slightly forwards) or diagonally backwards (by leaning slightly backwards)
