Step 3: Skidded Turns In A Corridor

Continue with the skidded turn as in step two but start with large turns, making them progressively shorter and shorter. Remember that you should still be skidding on completely flattened edges and controlling your skis with your ankles and lower legs with movements resembling figure 8's.

Force yourself to ski short, skidded turns on a narrow track straight down the fall line (about 5 meters, or 12-15 feet, in width) and then practice making the skidded turns in this corridor. Continue this exercise until you master a series of linked skidded short turns while remaining within the corridor.
