snowploughing is the term used when you slow down by making a wedge shape with your skis, it is mostly taught for when you are just learning how to ski, but it is not a good stop for the backcountry. Once you get more advanced you can do stops such as the hockey stop, and slow down using movements with your skis that are sometimes called speed checks, these two other stops are much better, but take more practice to learn
Turning!
plowing, cheese wedge and more correctly "turning" == ==
The scientific term for slowing down is deceleration. It refers to the decrease in speed or velocity of an object over time.
Deceleration refers to the decrease in speed or slowing down of an object over time. It is the opposite of acceleration, which involves an increase in speed.
That means slowing down.
deceleration aka slowing down?
The scientific term for slowing down is deceleration. This refers to the rate at which an object's speed decreases over time.
The term negative acceleration is used when an object is slowing down, such as when it is decelerating or changing direction. It indicates that the object's velocity is decreasing over time.
A helicopter takes you to the top of a mountain, then you disembark and ski down.
Gradually slowing down is 'decelerating'.
ritardando is slowing down, and so is rallentando. they are abbreviated rit. or ritard and rall.
You can either turn quickly to the sides to decrease friction, thus slowing down, or for begginers, just slightly tilt your skiis inwards(but do not cross them)
