A Christie Turn is a combination of a Stem Turn and a Parallel Turn.
You start with your skis parallel, skiing downhill, or traversing across the hill. When you want to turn, you put your upper ski into a V position, with the front of your skis pointing together. You will now be 'Snow Plowing'. Once your in this position, you can adjust your weight to inside edge of the outside ski, causing you to start rotating down the hill on that ski. Once you are nearing the desired end of your turn, you slide, or lift, your other ski, so you are standing parallel again.
This is repeated, and practiced, until the skiier has learned a full Parallel Turn.
