thigh steering - / θaɪ ˈstɪərɪŋ / -
verb
Efficient and powerful technique for making parallel ski turns, prioritising the use of large muscles in the thigh. Beginner skiers naturally tend to steer their skis with their feet, whilst this may work effectively in easier terrain over short periods of time, it falls short in more challenging terrain and longer descents. Recruiting bigger and more powerful muscles i.e. thigh muscles is more effective.
